August 18 through September 30
Curated by Lisa Joy Sachs
Artists' Reception: Saturday, August 18, 4:00 to 6:00 pm

Explore the diversity of the contemporary beading community, its creative and technological advances as the gallery welcomes back the second annual bead show, featuring hundreds of art beads by some of the nation's top bead artists. Learn how all encompassing the true definition of "bead work" is and the methods today's artists are employing, from lampwork glass and mixed media to polymer and just about any material that is non-toxic.

This show will run until Sunday, September 30, but this is a very popular show and many of the best beads are spoken for long before the show closes, so get there early for the best selection of these amazing works of art.
