It’s been a busy week for 20 area artists who have been putting the finishing touches on Off Track Art, a cooperative located just off the railroad tracks in downtown Westminster that is having its grand opening from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. today.
The gallery will be filled from floor to ceiling with sculptures, jewelry, photography, paintings and more.
Westminster painter Sarah Abel Deluca said artists are, generally, independent thinkers and creators.
But the co-op’s artists have come together for this project, splitting the rent and agreeing to staff the co-op located inside Roger Lewis’ Carousel Stained Glass at 11 Liberty Street.
“It’s been exciting to watch the group come together,” Maurio said. “Everyone is bringing their own strengths.”
The artists began meeting in December over breakfast to discuss plans.
Each of the co-op members gets their own space in one of the two rooms in the gallery.
The artists drew numbers out of a hat to decide where each would display their works.
Artists dropped by this week to start installing their works, stopping to admire and compliment the projects of their peers.
