Jennifer Schlick’s “Dandelion”

Congratulations to the women of Jamestown, New York who have organized a month of SWAN activities that will kick off on Saturday with an exhibit at 3rd On 3rd Gallery in Jamestown that will feature new photographs and art from Jennifer Randall, Angela Caley, Debra Eck, Jennifer Schlick and Ashley Ordines.

Debra Eck, who specializes in paper and installation art,  and photographer Jennifer Schlick are the artists behind last year’s “Women Create”, which celebrated SWAN through a juried exhibition of works by 40 women artists, lectures, workshops, an arts market, and the creation of a new installation piece.  “Women Create” was the most attended exhibition of 3rd On 3rd Gallery’s history.  You can watch a video recap on YouTube.
