CAG Presents Georgetown ARTS 2009
Three-day Show Features Resident Artists

The artistic talent of Georgetown resident artists will be on view for the first time under one roof at the former Smith and Hawken space at 1209 31st Street for three days in November. The opening reception, Thursday evening, November 19 from 6 to 9, will feature Govinda Gallery owner Chris Murray talking about the history and evolution of the Georgetown art scene -- drawn from his 34 years as a central presence in the ever-changing Georgetown art world.

CAG’s new and unique show of more than 20 Georgetown artists will include painting, photography, sculpture, 2D and 3D mixed media. While some works will be just for display, many will be for sale. Show hours are: Thursday, November 19, from 6 to 9 pm; Friday, November 20, from noon to 8 pm; and Saturday, November 21, 11 am to 6 pm. CAG’s Georgetown ARTS 2009 will be highlighted in the new Gallery Gaze that takes place on Friday evenings.
