"Nostalgia" Group Show Opening

Here's a video of our "Nostalgia" show opening on October 3rd. Thanks to everyone who made it out, we had a blast!

FIRST THURSDAY: ERIN MCCARTY / THE INVISIBLE ALLIANCE

The Pony Club Gallery is proud to present "The Invisible Alliance", a solo show by local artist and Pony Club Gallery member Erin McCarty. This series of gouache paintings ponders the existance of invisible guardians and their role in human creativity, fulfillment, happiness, and ambition. These "helping hands" come to us in the form of angels, or even demons, who guide the individual towards a life of noble, beneficial pursuits. These beings slip quietly into our lives to provide assistance in our need to give form and structure to ideas not yet in fruition. More often than not, they are the little nagging voice that urges us to take action and cease to be idle when it comes to shaping our lives.

It comes down to a choice that must be made in life to aspire towards creativity and self improvement or an existence of destructiveness. Our invisible allies are waiting to assist us if we so choose, our invisible foes wait to devour us in doubt if we don't.
