Urban Artware
LAST GALLERY HOP EVER...
                           

Urban Artware presents  

Peter Spivak: Retrospective

Peter Spivak is an artist who was born and raised in Alabama. After traveling extensively and exhibiting in galleries around the country, Peter heard about a gallery called Urban Artware in Winston-Salem, NC. The first time he called the gallery he spoke with the proprietor, Millicent Greason, for almost an hour and felt an immediate connection. After sending slides, Millicent offered to show his work and they scheduled a retrospective exhibition in 2000.

 

After meeting, Peter and Millicent soon fell in love and eight years later they were married. To celebrate eleven years of being a part of Millicent's life and the gallery, Peter will be having another retrospective exhibition for the final gallery hop January 6, 2012. The evening of the show will be the last time the gallery will be open and Millicent and Peter will begin a new chapter in their lives. The exhibition will include paintings and mixed media works from the past twenty years. We hope you can join us.
