Chester County Art Association gives us something to look forward to after Thanksgiving with their exhibition, \u201cPure Abstractions: Similar Elements, Different Stories\u201d featuring work by Donna Usher, Susan Melrath, and Ken Vavrek. Curated by contributing artist Susan Usher, this exhibition features the abstract work of three very different artists working towards a similar theme. In Usher\u2019s words, \u201cThe creations don\u2019t incorporate a specific subject matter they do utilize similar elements such as line, color, shape, space, and texture, conveying different stories with different visions.\u201d This show runs from December 1st to January 3rd at the Chester County Art Association West Chester location. Stop by for the opening reception Thursday, December 6th from 5 – 7pm or the artist panel discussion on Thursday, December 13th at 6pm.<\/p>\n
