MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Art Center is hosting a virtual opening reception for its new exhibit, “HOME,” on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The opening will feature a virtual tour of the gallery and conversations with exhibiting artists and co-curators Nicola Chipps and Lisa Kaplan.

Broadcast on Zoom, the event is free and open to the public. A link is available at www.MiddletownArtCenter.org. It will also be livestreamed on Facebook through MAC’s page @ARTMiddletown.

The exhibit speaks to the places where humans and other living beings establish roots, the shelters we occupy, and our sense of the places we call “Home.” The artwork has been juried and curated to represent excellence.

The exhibit includes work from Lake County artists with the addition of new artists from Sonoma County and ceramicists from the Cobb Mountain Art and Ecology Project.

The virtual tour is prepared in 3D modeling and will be navigated live at the opening by Michael Chandler of Third Eye Visuals.
