Flora in Focus

January 11 – March 8, 2025

A flower-inspired art show featuring collaborative ikebana art by Cindy Ting and her students

Reception with raffle prizes and refreshments on February 1, 2025 from 1 – 3pm

The Harrington Gallery is excited to welcome back the “Flora in Focus” group exhibition from January 11 until March 8, 2025. Featuring approximately 80 works of various mediums, 10 local artists will take part in this floral-themed show. This collective was watercolorist, Meghana Mitragotri’s, dream project as she always wanted to bring to the community a flower-themed exhibition. For this presentation, she invited a group of local floral artists, all of whom are friends that have helped and supported her in her artistic journey. Working in acrylic, watercolor, East Asian brush painting, gouache, oil, colored pencil, and glass, the diversity in materials will be reflected in the varied portrayals of floral subjects. Emphasizing the beauty and wonder of flowers, “Flora in Focus” showcases the artistry of each artist in each of their representative mediums.

Meet the participating artists at the exhibition reception on Saturday, February 1, 2025 from 1:00 – 3:00 P.M. at the Harrington Gallery. Light refreshments and raffle prizes will be provided at the event. Collaborative floral ikebana arrangements by Cindy Ting and her students will also be featured at the gallery during the week of the reception. Each floral display will be created in tandem with a piece of artwork from the exhibition.
