The AVS Gallery presents the third annual exhibition of sculpture and installation art along the shoreline walk on the campus of UConn Avery Point. Meet the artists at the opening reception on Thursday July 14 from 5:30-8:00pm and participate in an interactive community art experience created by Tennessee artist Beth Reitmeyer using glowing orbs, that will be scattered on the lawn behind the Branford House. Also UConn MFA candidate Thomas Pilnik will be on site working with 300 lbs of locally gathered and manufactured clay to construct and perform a devotional sculpture.
Artists presenting work are Helena Chastel, the CoyWolf Collective, Jack Henry, Myles Nurse, Catherine Nelson, Margaret Parsons, Thomas Pilnik, Beth Reitmeyer, and Margaret Roleke.

Best wishes to our gallery assistant Maya Bustamante, who will be continuing her studies in the BFA program in the Department of Art and Art History at the Storrs campus in the fall! Maya has been a devoted member of the AVS Gallery team, who, in addition to working with the public during gallery hours, assisted with designing the exhibition layout for our recent “Narrative Imperative” exhibition. Today is Maya’s last day in the gallery. Thanks Maya and good luck! We look forward to seeing where your artistic talents will take you!
