For centuries the skill of recording scenery, subjects, and historical events through hand-crafted artworks were relied upon by society to understand the imagery associated with the civilized and uncivilized world around them. That skill evolved over time as devoted artists strived to depict their images as closely as possible to the real thing, setting new standards for artists that would last forever. Art Scene West wants to celebrate this genre of Realism and the contemporary masters who carry on that tradition. Head to our gallery and experience Realism like never before! Gallery Hours: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m., Monday-Sunday Visit: https://www.artscenewest.com/exhibition-of-realism-submissions Art Scene West Gallery on Facebook / Instagram
