PRESS RELEASE:
NEW EXHIBITION

Anthony Cafritz

June 6 – July 1, 2009
Reception: Saturday, June 20, 3-6pm
 

North Main Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of their new exhibition, featuring artwork by Salem resident, Anthony Cafritz.
 
Cafritz, for the past four years, has been investing his energy in the creation of an artist community, Salem Art Works. Transforming a defunct dairy farm, Cafritz has overseen the formation of a sculpture park, artist residency program, education and intern program, along with various artwork fabrication facilities. His commitment to the enrichment of the Salem area, to the transformative power of creativity and his own commitment as an artist are just a few of the reasons North Main Gallery is highlighting this unique individual.
 
Cafritz has exhibited his artwork in various sites around the country, with a most recent installation at Union College. He practices a varied approach in his artmaking including drawing, painting and sculpture. Of his content, Cafritz states “My work is an investigation into core emotional states and the basic psychological human experience.”
 
The exhibition runs from June 6 – July 1. There will be a reception and open house on Saturday, June 20, from 3-6pm. The public is invited to attend this free event and meet the artist.
