The Bereskin Fine Arts Gallery & Studio, formerly Atom Studio + Gallery, is proud to present it's premiere exhibit, "Finding a Creative Voice." Beginning May 29th through June 20th the gallery will feature the award winning high school artists from Pat Bereskin's Mrs. B.'s School of Art program:
Olivia von Gries (BETT)
Kasey Vanausdeln (BETT)
Annie Peters (PV)
Rachel Lyle (Davenport Central)
Elizabeth Masterson (Hone Schooled)
Hannah Weickhorst (Home Schooled)
Madeline Fox (Morning Star Academy, Bettendorf)
"The art classes we have attended have given us the ability to think creatively and express ourselves individually with a very unique voice. This new way of seeing the world around us has also influenced our lives in many other ways," chimed in Madeline Fox.
"As we take our next steps into the future, we realize what can be accomplished if we work toward our goals," said Kasey Vanausdeln. " We have a better appreciation and understanding of the skills we have learned and that they will be a part of our lives forever," Rachel Lyle injected. Olivia von Gries added, "We hope everyone will enjoy the show and in some way see and experience our artistic point of view and love of life."
"We feel proud to be a part of this exhibition and be able to share with people the outcome of our creative learning, our artwork," said Ann Peters, she added, "It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from - Art speaks to us all across cultures and the world."
The Beréskin gallery features original art for sale, but visitors can also have the unique experience of observing the artists at work in the studio. And to go a step further, after 25 years of teaching under the name of Mrs. B's Art, Pat is now involving and encouraging all the Beréskin artists to teach art and mentor other budding artists. Their schedule continually offers a wide variety of classes for beginners and advanced students.
Artist David Anderson echoes Bereskin's comments, "We're very excited about the gallery's new direction and sharing our joy of the art experience with collectors, artists, students of the arts, and the public in general. That collaboration feels just as gratifying as when I'm painting."
Presently, the Beréskin Fine Art Gallery & Studio features artists Pat Bereskin, David Anderson, Brad Bisbey, Gene Brack, Jason Frank, Dean Kugler, David Zahn, and Robert Zeidler.
The gallery is located in the Bucktown Center for the Arts, 225 East 2nd Street, Suite 104, in Davenport, Iowa, and is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 11am to 6 pm; open until 9 pm every Final Friday.
