 Gretchen Schaefer - drawing on plywood (from the press release) Start your holiday season at the DAVA Gallery this year. Join us for Create, our annual holiday show and sale of original art by DAVA (Downtown Aurora Visual Arts) youth and guest artists. DAVA’s gallery is located at 1405 Florence Street, one block south of East Colfax Avenue in Original Aurora. The exhibit opens with a reception from 4 to 9 pm on Friday November 13th, 2009 in conjunction with the East End Arts District Winter Art walk. Works are on display until January 8th, 2010. Proceeds from this exhibit support year round arts programs for youth at DAVA. DAVA is a wonderful destination for holiday gifts. This year, young artists have assembled a unique collection of lamps for sale, made of paper, wire, and ceramics. You will be delighted by the whimsy of youth creation, enchanted by the collection of light filled objects on display, and happy to find new twists on clocks, teapots, soap dishes, sculpted pens and much more. DAVA youth create quality artwork year round in our after school programs and this year’s selection of youth made artworks is not to be missed! Works by guest designers and artists include contemporary functional and decorative pieces. Dan Sjogren creates fruit bowls and organizers with wood and metal. Christiane White and Jill Mustoffa from Tutela Handbags design and assemble slick bags from vintage fabrics and vinyl. Lisa Townley’s pottery is painted with bright colors and science inspired designs. Gretchen Shaeffer’s organic drawings on plywood are intricately tangled with the wood’s patterns. The exhibit is free and open to the public from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday or by appointment. For more information, e-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
