Opening Reception, February 2, 2024, 4:30-7:30 PM
“Small works of art often offer compelling, intimate images that manage to give the art lover an open window into the mind and musings of the artist. With an economy of brush strokes and a keen eye for color, Chris Alvarez brings into focus the essence and vitality of people, the landscape, and all of its inhabitants.”

Red Threads oVerlap, Kreuser Gallery
October 2020
Overlap focuses on unity, highlighting our shared experiences and the one earth we share as our home, rather than focusing on our polarizing differences. Through photography, encaustics, painting, fiber arts, drawings, ceramics and digital pieces, we want to celebrate the beauty of connection and community.
Red Threads was formed as a collaboration to highlight local artists and the work of The Never Alone Foundation, which supports families created through international adoption. The NAF provides grants to help with the expense of adoption, children with medical needs and support for new families. All of the artists donate a portion of their sales to the NAF, as does Kreuser Gallery.
