Express yourself on the walls of the Sara D. November Gallery!   Announcing a call for two-dimensional fine art and photography entries for the January, 2024 Express Yourself:This is Us! juried exhibit.  

We all have stories to tell, views of ourselves, or concepts of how we fit into the world to share. When we share our stories we spark connections that create community. When we express ourselves we invite laughter, tears, strength, and understanding. We become an “us!”

(www.steveferrettiart.com) Steve is a visual artist working out of a studio in Southside Richmond, Virginia. The majority of Steve’s works are abstract acrylics, monotype prints and cold wax and oil.
