A Breath of Spring An artistic celebration of spring

Quad City Atom Studio + Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition of artwork which will be presented at The Quad City Botanical Center 2525 4th Avenue Rock Island, IL.  The show will run from from March 20th  to April 30th with a special opening reception Sunday, April 12^th from 12:00- 3:00 p.m. During the reception, gallery artists will be painting and sculpting in the gardens for your viewing pleasure. It's a great opportunity for those interested to watch, interact, and learn how the artists find inspiration in the gardens and go through the creative process in their work.

Six Atom Gallery artists will be featured in the show: Pat Bereskin, Brad Bisbey, Dan Johnson, Dean Kulger, Gene Brack and David Anderson. Bereskin, Bisbey, and Anderson often call on mid-western landscapes and flora for inspiration in their work, while Brack and Johnson explore unique painting techniques where vivid color, shape, and line are energizing forces.  Kugler is a sculptor who explores the beauty and intricacies of the human form and experiments with nontraditional methods and materials.

This exhibition beautifully combines the innovative artwork with the plants and flowers that are growing and blooming in the gardens at the Botanical Center and truly makes it a celebration of spring in the Quad Cities.
