Sitting among trend setting shops on Ventura Boulevard, the prestigious and long­standing Orlando Gallery will be showing a small works exhibit (12" x 12") entitled the "5 Elements of Nature" by the Valley Artists Guild. This exhibit promises to be an eclectic, mixed media array of visual creations from some of the top San Fernando Valley artists.

Valley Artists Guild (VAG) was founded in 1948 by the sculptor Henry Van Wolf (1898­1982). It is a non-profit organization with a membership base of over 180 members, who are professional and award winning, national and international artists and who utilize innovative and conceptual approaches to art in all mediums ranging from realistic to contemporary and abstract works.

VAG' s exhibiting members are chosen by application and juried selection twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. They welcome all levels of artists and encourage them to fulfill their highest potential through ongoing education and creative interaction. VAG is dedicated to the advancement of the visual arts through exhibition, education and outreach and their philanthropic programs are ongoing.

Please join the artists, as well as Bob Gino and Don Grant, Directors of the Orlando Gallery who will jury and curate this fresh and intelligent thought-provoking exhibition. Awards will be presented to the artists at an opening reception on Saturday, May 8th 6:00-9:00 pm.
