Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway Fairweather will host an opening reception for “Quiet and Clarity.” There is, indeed, a quiet strength found in stepping aside from being hurried in the hectic holiday season.

The show features artist Marga Stanley, abstract artist Diane Copenhaver, woodcut relief artist Ashley Howarth. The gallery will also showcase master harp builder Duane Bolster. For nearly 50 years, he worked in operating rooms and Intensive Care Units and witnessed the healing and soothing effects that harp music had on the children he cared for and on their parents.
