Art Uptown Gallery Shows New Art: Vision vs Status Quo

Arts & Culture

Art Uptown, 1367 Main Street, 941-955-5409

Evelyn McCorristin-Peters, Art Uptown’s September featured artist, uses her artistic vision as a laser, lighting up issues that challenge the status quo.  Her show’s abstractions and painted statements serve to document her reactions to challenging times and invite visitors to experience these along with her.  Evelyn’s closely observed works reflect her boldness and the deeply held responsibility to use the artist’s unique platform to address important issues.   She says, “My intention for this collection is to stimulate a dialogue to become kinder, more just and understanding.”
