Dublin Civic Center, 1123 Main St., will host a public reception for its abstract art show Friday, Oct. 11, from 5 to 7 p.m.

This October, the art show theme is about exploring what abstraction means in contemporary art. Art committee member Maureen Ahern has curated art from several  abstract artists, including Alison Deland Scott, Rosemarie Bernardi, Jill C Fischman, Erika Radich, Emily Noelle Lambert and Paul Cooper. All are welcome at the reception.

Since the early 1900s, abstract art has been part of the modern/contemporary art movement. Using shapes, gestural marks, colors and forms, it can either express a simplified or schematised basis of a figure, object or landscape, or have no basis whatsoever in any form of external reality. Sometimes abstract art can be used to represent ideas about emotions, order/disorder, purity/impurity, simplicity/complexity, and spirituality.

This show may be viewed throughout October, during open hours or by appointment. For information, send email to info@dublincommunitycenter.org.
