Marilyn Cvitanic, Over Giant Ferns, 2009, watercolor on paper,

Art is good. Good art is better. Good art with music and wine is, in most circumstances, the best — and that’s just what you’ll find next Sunday at Offramp, a relatively new gallery in a historic property. The reason for this party? The closing reception for their current exhibition, Small Works, a 12-artist show of beautiful, affordable work. Offramp’s website has a video walk-thru of the exhibit (the video on the right) if you don’t believe me — some of it is quite breaktaking. A good chance to do a little Holiday shopping for the art lover in your life. There will be live music from guitar duo Lonny Sotelo and Helmut Jackson, and, of course, refreshments.
