"Tonight, McRay Art Featured at Waverly Artists Group Open House"


OPEN HOUSE
WAVERLY ARTISTS GROUP 
June 27th 6-9 PM


WAVERLY PLACE
302 Colonades Way, Suite 209
Cary, Raleigh, North Carolina
(919) 949-2427

Join us for an evening of original art, delicious food, live music and friendship at the Waverly Artists Group Gallery, in Cary NC.

This month we are delighted to announce the selection of artist Eric McRay to join the Waverly Artists Group.

We will have an expanded selection of his work on display titled "Jazz: The Classical Music of America" for the open house and in addition, Eric will be at our gallery giving a free lesson and demo of his technique from 2:00pm until 5:00pm on June 27th.

Do stop in to experience his personal interpretation of "Jazz, the Classical Music of America." His goal is to cause his audience to "hear the music and feel the intensity." Through his brilliant color, expressive brushstrokes, and improvisational application of acrylic paint, McRay captures the vibrancy and spontaneity of his musical subjects. These paintings will materialize this auditory art form of jazz, as a two dimensional visual art form, producing a dynamic, "visual rhythm." 

So what’s not to like? 

Jazz guitar from Heath Tuttle, Jazz art from Eric McRay, and a room full of COOL KATS. Friday, June 27th come on down and find your groove.
