In the White Gallery – Joel Loeper a Memorial Retrospective
Joel Loeper, a painter and sculptor of all living things, except Vincent Van Gogh. Joel Loeper was a much respected and well known painter and sculptor in the Southwest Florida area. He recently lost his battle with brain cancer. But before he passed, he made sure that all of his art was donated to Arts for ACT Gallery for them to raise money for ACT Shelter. ACT Gallery has a plethora of paintings ranging from farm animals, to monkeys and gorillas to his beloved Van Gogh’s and more.
This exhibit continues to Monday, June 29.
