If you're the type to find beauty in the derelict and discarded, the Visual Art League of Lewisville has something up its alley for you. They're showcasing the "Abandoned" art exhibit, set up from May 3-31, at the Art Gallery inside the Lewisville Grand Theater. Get ready to be struck by the art pieces that reveal the aesthetics of neglect and abandonment, often overlooked in the hustle.
For those eager to meet and greet the creators behind these compelling works, mark your calendars for an opening reception happening Saturday, May 3, from 7-9 p.m. at The Grand. This event gives a glimpse into the artists' perspectives, directly from the horse’s mouth. Mindful that the Gallery keeps its doors open from Tuesday to Saturday, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. However, it spills into the evening hours when The Grand is bustling with additional programs.
According to the City of Lewisville website, the exhibit offers not only visual stimulation but also engagement. On May 25, from 3 to 5 p.m., the Visual Art League invites you to a casual “Conversations with Artists” in the Main Gallery. Here, artists involved in the “Abandoned” exhibit will delve into the narratives, inspirations, and mediums that shape their artwork, creating an opportunity for community interaction.
Support for the Visual Art League comes in part from the City of Lewisville through grants aimed at pumping life into cultural and fine arts within the community. This gesture aligns with the city’s “Old Town” Big Move, backing the Lewisville 2025 vision plan and fulfilling a chapter in the city's commitment to enriching the local art scene. The full vision plan details are available at cityoflewisville.com/lewisville2025 for the curious minds.
