Tribute to Abbrescia's Life at Hockaday Museum

The Hockaday Museum offers the show "Abbrescia's Passion - Plein Aire Paintings of Glacier National Park" showcasing the work of artist, Joe Abbrescia, including some paintings that have not previously been exhibited, from June 8 through Sept 11, 2007.
A catered opening reception will be held June 14th from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Artist Mark Ogle will present a tribute to the life and work of Joe Abbrescia at 4:30 p.m. Cellist Lee Zimmerman will perform throughout the evening. The June 14th reception is free to museum members and $10.00 for non-members.
The Abbrescia show is an important one to the Hockaday because the museum's signature focus is the art of Glacier Park and Montana's artistic legacy; and because the work of Abbrescia (1936 - 2005) is rated among international standards for excellence and innovation in color, harmony and design.
