NOVEMBER 1st UPDATE from WILTON MANORS, FLORIDA — This new exhibit was curated by Jan Solomon in honor of her late mother, Carolyn Lindsay, and will feature unique paintings and sculptures created by Carolyn and lovingly donated to The Opera Society by Jan and Harold Solomon and the Lindsay Family in an effort to raise funds. “This exhibit offers a wonderful opportunity to support both the local arts and The Opera Society. All artwork in this exhibit will be available for sale with 80 percent of proceeds benefiting The Opera Society’s ongoing mission of supporting Florida Grand Opera, and 20 percent going to Art Gallery 21,” said Jan Solomon, a supporter of both Art Gallery 21 and The Opera Society.
The opening night of the heARTsong art exhibit will bring together local art and opera enthusiasts to honor and celebrate the art life of Carolyn Lindsay. “We’re hoping to sell Carolyn’s beautiful artwork and raise funds for The Opera Society with this special exhibit,” said Constance Ruppender, founder and president of Art Gallery 21. “Quite a few of our gallery volunteers are opera fans and the synergy of the two artforms is really a fun way to bring art experiences to the community.”
Open free to the public, guests will be treated to complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres as they peruse the heARTsong exhibit and mingle amongst friends, old and new. “We’re encouraging everyone to invite their friends and family and join us for the opening ceremony on November 16th. And, if they can’t make the opening night, the exhibit will be available to the public every Friday and Saturday until December 12th,” Ruppender stated.
