The Nave Gallery Annex celebrated its first event at its Davis Sq. location last Friday with the opening reception for the PICNIC exhibit, now showing through Feb. 8.

Guests at the opening were treated to eye-opening artworks, and music by Dan Blakeslee, Audrey Ryan and Tom Janovitz. Event sponsor, Cuppow, generously gifted 25 visitors with free samples of their product.

The goal of the PICNIC exhibit is to take the visitor away from the cold starkness of winter and create a sense of the warmth of a summertime outing.

The gallery seemed to have succeeded perfectly on its opening day.
