A kaleidoscope of breathtaking color and graceful, animated images will lift your mood as you savor Sandi Whetzel's vibrant art at Royce Realty's opening reception during Ashland's First Friday Art Walk, December 7. Wine and finger foods will be offered at Royce's reception for the artist beginning at 5:00 p.m.  Although Sandi lives nearly a 2 hour drive from Ashland, she plans to attend the reception and is eager to meet her art viewers.

Whetzel's contemporary acrylic paintings are distinguished by her passion for curvilinear lines, shapes and harmonious color. The radiant chroma, stimulating motifs and rhythmic movements throughout Sandi's art works are sure to tickle your senses.  These contemporary art pieces will complement many home interiors exquisitely. Sandi is also known for her signature paintings to promote the Oregon wine industry.  You can see more of Sandi's art here .  To learn more about Sandi and her art visit here

The gallery space at Royce is a great example of Whetzel's willingness to explore creative venues for sharing her engaging art.  Royce Realty is located at 145 E Main St., in the heart of downtown Ashland, across from Starbucks and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival Theatres and a short walk from the Art Center, the hub of Ashland art.  The staff at Royce Realty encourages visitors to feel free to stop by and browse Sandi's art during the month of December, pick up a brochure or a map, get the latest information on the local Ashland real estate market, or just ask for a good restaurant suggestion. 

Royce has requested Sandi Whetzel's art to enhance and draw interest to their space during the month of December as part of Ashland Art Center's Art2Business program. Participating Art2Businesses choose art from a large screened pool of qualified, talented professional artists with a variety of styles and media. This alternative art venue benefits the artists with greater exposure to their art, intrigues clientele, improves employee morale and draws exposure to the businesses from participation in the Art Walks. 

Recently the Arts Center has added a free shuttle service to the Art2Business art venues during the First Friday Art Walks.  The shuttle, provided by Cascade Shuttle and Art2B, completes its route covering all the Art2B sites every 30 minutes from 5 to 8 p.m. A list of Art2B stops and the route is available as a handout from the Ashland Art Center where the shuttle begins its route and returns every half hour during First Friday evenings.
