Valley Arts Council to host magical show in October

DERBY - The Valley Arts Council will host its newest art show and sale, entitled “Magic & Mysticism: The Art of Believing,” with an opening reception from 6-9 p.m. Oct. 13.

The event will be held at Gallery@37, at 37 Elizabeth St., gallery manager BillieJo Scharfenberg said. The public is invited.

The show runs from Oct. 13 through Nov. 3.  

Artists who are members of the Valley Arts Council will display works-for-sale inspired by a variety of magical themes, from stage magic and the art of illusion, to the magic and mysticism integral to many of the world’s long-established and more recently emerged religious traditions.

Scharfenberg said visitors may even find art inspired by the sorts of magic conjured up by the entertainment industries, such as might be found in popular fiction, films, and video games. 

The celebrity guest judge for the show will be the inimitable Rose Red, an experienced tarot card reader and magical lady. She will also do tarot card readings for interested visitors on opening night, at a special event rate of just $15 for 15 minutes or $25 for 30 minutes. 

For information on how to enter as an artist, or to attend the show, contact Scharfenberg at galleryat37@gmail.com, 203-558-7591, or Valley Arts Council President Rich DiCarlo, at studiochid@sbcglobal.net, 203-906-4343.
