Legs, by Paula Oesterling

Summer Art Show on Main Street
The Main Street Arts Gallery is featuring Metallic Materializations, a group exhibition by local metal artists during July and August. The show highlights a variety of pieces ranging from sculptural and functional works to imaginative creations that demonstrate the versatility of the medium. The metal artists include Nate Holbein, Brady Prisha, Luke Heimbigner and Steen Kjorlie. 

Also featured in July is longtime gallery member Paula Oesterling. Known for her playful and whimsical approach, Oesterling creates imaginative mixed-media works that often surprise viewers with unexpected subjects and storytelling elements.

The public is invited to an opening and closing reception on Friday, July 3, and August 7 from 6 to 9 p.m., held in conjunction with Martinez First Friday. Guests can meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and enter a monthly prize drawing. “Legs” by Paula Oesterling is the free drawing prize in July. Come into the gallery and fill out a form for a chance to win!
