Mixed media artist Eugenia Alexander will lead a workshop inspired by Vasarely’s Alphabet Plastique. Working with a paint, markers, and paper, participants will create an ‘alphabet’ of shapes and colors that will allow for endless permutations and unique works of art. Arrive early and enjoy the exhibition Victor Vasarely: Calculated Compositions before the event!
In the 1960’s Victor Vasarely introduced his Alphabet Plastique, a grid-based system that established modular relationships between forms and colors. Each painting in this series was based on forms derived from the circle, square, and triangle. Vasarely wanted to reach out through his universal language to transmit basic human values to the general public outside of the art establishment.
*Free admission for WCHOF members. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments are provided.

WE’RE BAAAAACK!!!
Much like the poltergeist from the feature film Poltergeist 2, in person events are back! Because scheduling is scary enough, Silver Space is here to help. Behold, our virtual baby - The Events Calendar - revived by popular demand. Here you can find out when the next gallery opening is, where you can hear free artist talks, and even what you missed out on because you didn’t check the calendar like you should have in the first place. Shame!
If you have an exhibition, event, artist talk, opening, or something tangentially associated, email marinam@silverspacestl.com and we’ll do our best to get you on!
