Andover Garden Club’s Petals & Palettes On a Sunday Afternoon will feature artists, floral design, live music, art for sale, and appetizers and beverages. The event takes place Sunday, May 18, from noon until 5 at the Essex Art Center, Lower Level, 56 Island Street in Lawrence.
More than 70 pieces from two score of the community’s best artists will be displayed, including sculpture, watercolor, oil painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, and fiber arts. Select pieces will be interpreted in floral arrangements à la “Art in Bloom.”
Much of the artwork will be offered for sale, with a percentage of the proceeds going to support the work of the club.
The exhibit of art and floral design will offer attendees a chance to take in the fragrance of fresh spring flowers, contemplate the colorful collection of art pieces, tap their feet to the tempo of a live jazz band, sample savory appetizers, and sip select beverages, including wine and beer. $40 entrance fee. For more information visit www.andovergardenclub.org, or call 978-475-7119.
