Arting Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition, Paula Gately Tillman: Aligning Stars, December 14, 2023– January 25, 2024. Opening reception: Thursday, December 14, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

 

This solo exhibition aligns rising stars across generations- twenty-four artists in the earlier stages of their careers, from the 1980s to present. These portraits reveal the photographer's extraordinary long-term focus on artists and beauty, serving as a gentle reminder that artistic lives can be looked at with historical, evolutionary, and poetic vision. Aligning Stars portrays the amazing stories of icons and evolving stars from the perspective of Paula Gately Tillman's Unique lens.
