Clayton Galleries hosts reception

Clayton Galleries, 4105 S MacDill Ave., will host an opening reception for the works of more than 30 self-taught artists. The reception will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday. The exhibit, titled "Contemporary Folk Expressions," will be on display through April 21. The exhibition, curated by Jeanne Kronsnoble, owner of Main Street Gallery in Clayton, Ga., will feature the works of folk artists, also known as self-taught or outsider artists. The common thread of their works is derived from the similarities between the artists themselves and the collective spirit of the work they produce. The motivation for their works often comes from religious inspiration, memories or everyday surroundings, from junkyard scraps to tree branches. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. For information, call (813) 831-3753.
