Second Saturday Art Opening with Marissa Minnerly @ Art on the Trax

Art on the Trax will present “Soul Windows” by Marissa Minnerly during the month of November, with a Second Saturday Artist Reception on Saturday, November 14th.

Local artist, Marissa Minnerly was born in New York City and grew up in Mexico. She has been making art since childhood. At sixteen, she attended the Negrette Institute of Art in San Miguel de Allende where she studied painting, life drawing, and stained glass. She then returned to to New York and worked as an art counselor at the NYC Children’s Museum and spent time at the Art Students League. Minnerly finished her study with a degree from the School of Visual Arts. Growing up in Mexico has remained an influence on Minnerly’s art, as well as an interest in Gaelic spirituality and culture. “Soul Windows” is a collection of assemblages and paintings influenced by Minnerly’s recent travel to the island of Iona in Scotland.

Please join us for our Second Saturday Opening Reception on October 10th. This reception is part of Crozet’s Second Saturday events and runs from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. We’ll be serving up The Art Box’s famous ice cream sundaes topped with fruit from local orchards.

All events are free and open to the public. Art on the Trax is located in Creative Framing and The Art Box, across from the Olde Crozet Train Station, 5784 Three Notch’d Road in Crozet, Virginia.
