Wildlife Moments by Debra Otterstein
September 8 – October 21, 2023
Free Admission
This September and October bring “Wildlife Moments”, an exhibit of artwork by local wildlife artist Debra Otterstein, to the Art Center East (ACE) Main Gallery. Community members of all ages are invited to attend a free opening reception at ACE on Friday, September 8 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Otterstein will give a brief, informal artist talk beginning at 6:30 pm. “Wildlife Moments” will be on display September 8 – October 21, 2023. A closing reception, free and open to the public, will take place Friday, October 20 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm.
Otterstein’s exhibit will include scratchboard and ink, acrylic on feather, claybord and ink and oil paintings. These realistic works feature a variety of wildlife and nature-based content.

Tickets may be purchased throughout the duration of the exhibit; all proceeds benefit the ACE Gallery Program. The raffle winner will be contacted after October 21, 2023.
