There's a Kate Champa serving plate
I'd like to own (it's emblazoned with a fish so vivid you actually imagine it
splashing), and I wouldn't mind hanging one particular Greg Stones painting on
our living room wall (a zombie clocking Bozo with a hammer in the middle of a
luminous meadow). The Foundry
Artists Show at the Pawtucket Armory, 172 Exchange Street, positions
fine arts and functional crafts side by each; the scope of the juried
presentation is immense, including textiles, ceramics, clothing, paintings,
photos, paintings, jewelry, and sculpture. There's even an array of organic
jams and chutneys. Longtime Rhode Islanders know it's a holiday tradition (the
annual action began in 1980), and gift-givers know that singular art pieces can
genuinely wow their recipients. The prices range from $5 to $500. Tonight's
grand opening reception is from 5 to 9 pm, with a silent auction and live
music; proceeds go to St. Mary's Home for Children; non-perishable food items
will be donated to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. The show is open on Friday from 12 to 8
pm, on Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm, and on Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm through
