Olive Branches: Artists descended from and/or influenced by Olive Rush

The Olive Rush Studio & Art Center is hosting a gallery opening and sale for contemporary artists who are directly descended from or inspired by the life and artwork of Olive Rush.   Featured artists include Leah Kohlenberg, a great-grandniece of Olive Rush, and Frank Trocino, the Olive Rush artist in residence. Come meet the artists and view the house where Olive Rush lived and worked. 

The show, entitled Olive Branches, refers not only to the Rush direct influences on contemporary artists, but also to the olive tree as the ancient symbol of peace, something we know Rush as a life-long Quaker loved and valued.   A percentage of all art purchases will go to support the non-profit Olive Rush Studio & Art Center.
