ATLANTA – AUGUST 31, 2016 – On Wednesday, Aug. 31, guests of Jet Linx Atlanta will be treated to a private viewing of Thomas Arvid’s latest works with the artist himself prior to the new collection moving to a public viewing at the Vinings Gallery. Thomas Arvid is a local artist and is often described as “America’s preeminent painter of wine.” Arvid’s newest collection features the family of Silver Oak wines, and this exhibition will be the first of its kind to be accessible outside of Napa Valley. There will be at least two original paintings, four limited editions on canvas and one sublimation on metal. An Oil on Canvas piece can take anywhere from four to six months to complete. On average, there are over 1,000 hours spent on each piece. Guests will witness Thomas working on a piece during the event. The Jet Linx private viewing will be held in their terminal at DeKalb–Peachtree Airport.
The invitation-only event will take place on Aug. 31 from 7-9pm, and will include light bites and cocktails. A day after the private viewing, the artwork will be sent to the Vinings Gallery where it will stay on display until Sept. 4. Approximately 7-8 pieces will be displayed at the Jet Linx Atlanta terminal, and the Vinings Gallery will display the same pieces, in addition to a few others. All of Arvid’s new artwork is also available for purchase.
