City Hall Gallery exhibit June 2 offers sneak preview of the 19th annual Kenmore Art Show

“Hunter” by Irina Milton

An exhibit featuring the work of Irina Milton, national award-winning fine-arts painter from Mukilteo known for her lavish interpretations of everyday life, will open Friday, June 2.

Arts of Kenmore Gallery in Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68th Ave NE.
 
The public is invited to an Opening Reception for “The Art of Irina Milton,” from 6:30-8pm on Friday, June 2 that will include a special presentation by the Ukraine born artist.

The exhibit will remain on display through August 10.
 
Frequent world travel affords Irina the subject matter to create thought provoking compositions within the realm of realism.

“I am drawn to people in their native costumes and lifestyles, and to the land in which they dwell,” according to Milton. “My artist’s eye is most often captured by the simple and private moments of these native people that so often go unnoticed.”

 
Irina is the Featured Artist for the 19th Kenmore Art Show. Her painting of a cat curiously perched amongst pantry shelves was incorporated into the poster design for the annual show, open to the public June 21-25 at Bastyr University, 14500 Juanita Dr. NE, Kenmore.

AOK Gallery exhibits are made possible by sustaining support from the City of Kenmore and 4Culture. The Arts of Kenmore mission is to promote both passive and active participation in the community through the annual art show, arts grants to schools, and outreach partnerships.
