With over 75 pieces of art from 30 artists, RED (Again) is brightening-up Stonington with some much-needed winter  color. After last year’s Valentine’s weekend show, plenty of artists expressed interest in doing it again, already formulating ideas. For some artists, having a theme to work around is as much about rising to a challenge; what  might be seen to some as a limitation, inspires them to go in a direction they might not have otherwise gone, and the results can be exciting.

The show includes a great variety of work, including jewelry, pottery and wood, as well as painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture. We’re also seeing a trend toward category-defying artwork: kinetic sculpture, wearable book-art or wearable kinetic jewelry... it’s all fun, and  red, mostly.

If you’d like to find that special something for your  sweetheart, you might want  to stop by Isalos and put a red dot on it before Friday’s reception, as last year’s was well-attended. Remember: nothing says “I love you” like the gift of fine art.
