Welcoming WALLS at Tri Chromatic Gallery
By Monica Barber
Modesto area art aficionados have eagerly been counting down the days until the soft opening of Tri Chromatic Gallery on January 20Th. Breaking down barriers, the inaugural experience, WALLS invites guests to participate in a silent auction of artwork and massage work and enjoy cocktails with the gallery owners between 6pm – 9pm. Cocktail attire is encouraged.
The trio of women opening the space, Brooke Heathcoat, Chelsea America and Zoe Toscano, are all accomplished and successful local artists in their own right. The gallery is a shared space based in downtown Modesto, centrally located on J street with a mission to connect the community with art. “We are a collaboration of 3 forces engaged in creating a culture that encourages critical and authentic expression of the world around us.”
All three artists have been in enough galleries to know and have an idea what they like and want to see in their own space. Having a local gallery run by local artists will perhaps take some of the pressure off of the local art community with its diversity. The trio have already carved out a space on social media and made a presence for the gallery to allow the community to see who they are, the artists that will be featured and what their creative processes will be.
Tri Chromatic Gallery is a unique community opportunity and Modesto is warmly invited to expand their palette for an evening. Hopefully the taste of something new will leave everyone wanting more.
Tri Chromatic Gallery is located at 1321 J Street in Modesto. For more information about Tri Chromatic Gallery, visit https://www.facebook.com/trichromaticgallery/ or https://www.instagram.com/trichromaticgallery/ and contact (559) 381-8645 or trichromaticgallery@gmail.com
