Event Details
Local surrealistic painter Stephanie Oplinger announces her first solo exhibition, titled A MIDSUMMER’S NIGHT DREAM, opening on July 1 and continuing through August 31. The opening reception takes places Thursday, July 11, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The reception will also feature live music by Andrew P. DeBroeck and live modelings of Stephanie’s wearable art sculptures.
The nearly two dozen paintings comprising the collection, featuring deeply dreamy and surreal imagery, are sure to enchant visitors at the Center. Stephanie’s unique combination of our world and the surreal dreamscapes of her imagination serve to express the moment when our perception of reality ends and daydreaming begins. Oplinger is known for her work in the permanent Special Art Collection at the Greater Latrobe SHS and is noted for her use of bold, vibrant colors and a strong contrast between light and shadow.
This collection of paintings, titled similarly to the famous Shakespearean play, evokes feelings of starry summer nights and the strange webs we weave in our dreams. Her work features images of human figures in relation to nature, space, and narrative. Not only dreamy and imaginative, but her work is also deeply intense and emotional.
Imbued with feelings of escapism and visuals of symbolism, her work makes a connection between lighter imaginative stories and deeper real-world meanings. Such is the piece PYRE AMONG THE STARS, last seen on display at last fall’s GLSD’s Annual Art Gala.
The opening reception on July 11th has a few additional surprises in store, with the first time the public will be able to view her wearable art sculptures worn by live models. One such sculpture is an evening gown made out of 2,000 spoons, producing an effect resembling dragon scales.

Sonia
Thank you for making everything happen so beautifully. You are amazing. It would not have looked and gone so wonderfully without all of your help. Nadia’s Baby Shower on Saturday, October 21, 2017 wouldn’t have looked so fantastic without you. Guests (Ladies) had such a great time. And I announced, that without Mrs. Janice Barsoum, this would not have gone so well. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you from my heart to yours.

I just wanted to share with you that I have heard very good feedback from all on the training held at your facility yesterday. They mentioned that the site was lovely and that the attendant there was most cordial and helpful. I’m sure you are in no small way responsible for our positive experience and I wanted to thank you for all you have done to help us succeed in getting this accomplished.
Tony
My family had a great evening. Your staff was very polite and helpful. The facility itself was perfect for us. We could not be happier with evening and the center. Thank you very much for your help with making a very memorable evening for my family.
Jean
The party was so very nice-- nothing but compliments. I wanted to thank you and the staff as everyone was very accommodating. Even my sister (who was the one that had the critical eye) was happy. She said the space was nice, everything was arranged well, and when we needed an adjustment for the "cookie table" Fred couldn't have been more helpful. She noticed the clean up went smooth and was impressed by the very attentive staff... The day was a delight and I will recommend the venue to ALL my friends.
Patty

EVERYTHING was perfect and we had the most wonderful day!!!! The room was beautiful and set up exactly how I wanted it, and I loved that the windows allowed natural light / a pretty view as well. John (I think that was his name) assisted with any questions I had, and was super helpful! Thank you Jan again so much for all of your assistance and patience! It is very much appreciated!
Sarah
It's a boy!! (I was right!) 🙂
Jordan and I want to thank you so much for your incredible service and facility! We had fun at our gender reveal and everything was perfect!
Thanks again!

We were very happy with the facility. It was spacious and accommodated us perfectly. Mark was very nice in letting me know if we needed anything, he would be more than happy to help. Thank you for all of your services and allowing us to rent your facility. We will be sure to keep you in mind for any upcoming meetings we may have.
John
Loved the room. Going to be doing more workshops in May or June, would love to come back.
Kay
Thank you so much for helping to make the party a huge success. You do your work very well- I will definitely recommend the Garden Center to people.
Brittany
Not only was I pleased with everything on Saturday, but so were all of the guests. They commented on how beautiful the facility was especially since we had the outdoor patio to add some light and decor. You had a gentleman working on Saturday who was very helpful with everything and very pleasant to work with. I appreciate all that you and your staff did for my sister's baby shower, it turned out better than I ever expected.
Susan
Another wonderful party for the Swans! Thank you and your staff for all being so helpful and friendly!
