9 Events to Do This Weekend – Labor Day Weekend

Two exceptional artists come together for an extraordinary Labor Day exhibition: Viktor Shvaiko and Thomas Stiltz. Having grown up surrounded by the beauty of the wilderness, Shvaiko developed a penchant for painting little cafes and other intimate places, which have become his trademark. Stiltz uses an old world technique of applying many layers of glazed oil paint, which gives color intensity and depth to wonderful visions that express the pleasures of sight, taste, sound, smell, and touch.
