The Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick, Maryland will be featuring the work of local artist, Patricia Di Bella from May 2 - June 29, 2008. A reception will be held on Friday, May 9th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Center, 20 West Patrick St. Gallery Talks held May 9th at 3 p.m. and June 6th at 3 p.m.

Patricia Di Bella earned her first MFA from Boston University's School of Visual Art and then taught high school visual arts for 19 years. In 2007 she received her second MFA in Painting from Maryland Institute College of Art. Di Bella's paintings are her responses to history and experiences in theatre and music; and to the energy, exuberance, and controlled madness of the performing arts.

Entr'acte is a term used in musical theater that indicates the piece of music that introduces the second act. This body of work depicts my personal response to the heightened experiences of the performer. The paintings reference western art history and classical mythology through the prism of Broadway and Hollywood.
