Playhouse Concert Series Features Fantastic Bands

METROPOLITAN KLEZMER (February 18, 2010 – 8:00 p.m.)

Metropolitan Klezmer brings eclectic exuberance to Yiddish musical genres from all over the map.

THE LEGENDS OF DOO WOP (March 16, 2010 – 8:00 p.m.)

Artist Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi and  Daughter Allison

To Exhibit at Chicago Area Art Event

Wellington, FL –  Two paintings by Wellington artist Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi and a black and white photograph taken by her daughter Allison will be included in a Chicago-area fine art exhibit celebrating women in the arts.

Presented annually by the Northwest Area Arts Council, “Women’s Works” focuses on female artists of North America, providing an opportunity to showcase the creative efforts of women in the visual arts.  The exhibit will take place at the Old Court House Arts Center on the Historic Town Square in Woodstock, Illinois, about an hour’s drive north of Chicago.  The exhibition opens March 4 and runs through April 24, 2010 with the opening reception March 13th, 2010 from 6-9pm.

Running concurrently with this show is the fourteenth annual “Little Women’s Works” featuring (and nurturing) the artistic achievements of young women. A black and white photograph by Allison Parssi, which was recently awarded a gold key in the Scholastic Regional Art Competition, will be part of  the exhibit.  This show runs March 4th through May 2nd, 2010. The opening reception is April 17th from 2-4pm.

Parssi’s paintings, “Winter Forest” and “Foggy Morning,”  were created using vegetables in place of paint brushes, something she began experimenting with recently.  Allison’s photograph was taken on her back porch, with her mom’s orchid collection providing the subject matter.  “We’re both very excited,” said Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi.  “As an artist it’s always nice to receive validation for your work.  I’m probably happier about Allison having a piece in the show,” added the proud mom.  “I’m so happy that we will be exhibiting together.”  This is not the first time mom and daughter have shared a venue: both have work on display at the museum store at the Lighthouse Center for the Arts, Tequesta, and the Craft Gallery in West Palm Beach.   For more information, or to view the artists’ work, visit www.JPParssi.com and www.AllisonParssi.com.    –
