New Art Show at ESAL Gallery in Onancock

Some say that the Eastern Shore is "The land of the big sky".  Fields of yellow soy beans or white ripe cotton strech out to a far away border of loblolly pines.  The eye travels from these fields to the cloud formations in the vast sky.  Artists at the ESAL Gallery will be thinking of open spaces as they interpred "Clouds", the theme for the new show opening on Dec. 12 in conjunction with Second Friday Celebrations in Onancock.  The opening reception will be from 5 to 8 PM and will continue into December and through January by appointment.  The ESAL Gallery is located at 59 Market Street.  Regular hours are 10 AM to 4 PM from Wednesday through Friday, and 10 AM to 3 PM on Saturday.  Light refreshments will be served.
