The opening reception will be tonight, Friday, Jan. 27 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served. All are invited.

The Art Alliance and island resident Boots Tolsdorf will present the second part of the Andrew Wyeth series on Monday, Jan. 30 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Boca Grande Community Center auditorium.

Boots will focus this part of the lecture on Wyeth’s works after his father’s death, the nudes and drawings of Siri and Helga, as well as some not-so-familiar temperas of his beloved Chadds Ford, Pa. countryside and the stories behind them in his own words. Boots is long familiar with the Wyeth family of painters, and served 15 years as a docent for the Brandywine River Museum where Wyeth’s works were consistently featured.

The suggested donation to the Art Alliance for this lecture is $10.
