Vernissage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A vernissage (varnishing, from French), also known as a preview, private view or simply opening, is the start of an art exhibition. Guests may be served canapés and wine as they discuss with artists and others the works in the exhibition. Critics and press may also be present, or invited to separate private viewings.
At official exhibitions, such as the Royal Academy summer exhibition, artists, in the past, would give a finishing touch to their works by varnishing them (J M W Turner was known for making significant changes to works on varnishing day while his fellow academicians were simply varnishing). The custom of patrons and the élite of visiting the academies during the varnishing day prior to the formal opening of the exhibition gave rise to the tradition of celebrating the completion of an art work or a series of art works with friends and sponsors. Nowadays, for commercial shows it is an opportunity to market the works on sale to buyers and critics.
There also is a comparable ceremonial ending of art exhibitions, called finissage. Larger art exhibitions also may have such an event at half time of the exhibition (midissage).

The Warwick Museum of Art invites you to join us Friday, September 5th from 7 – 9 pm for the opening of “Variations on a Theme.” This exhibition consists of multi-media artwork of fourteen local visual artists, members of the Providence Art Motivation Group. Stephanie Schechter (group organizer) Laura Atkinson, Wayne Bridge, Deborah Carlson, Chrystee Governo, Patty Johnston-Martucci, Nicole McDermott, David McGuirl, Deenie Pacik, Elise Rugens, Ewa Stosik-Moers, Dorota Streitfeld, David Tobin, and Jill Tyler will be exhibiting. Variations on a Theme explores the artistic interpretations of four subjects: Eyes, Water, Collection and Pattern.

This exhibit showcases the dramatically different interpretations in terms of style, medium and realization of the subject theme. For instance, one artist may approach the subject of “pattern” by looking towards nature to find the patterns in a growing garden, another may incorporate swatches of patterned fabric into a mixed media collage. This show represents that one’s creative interpretation knows no bounds, and is not restricted to common vision. The artists explore deeper significance and expression of the simple subjects.
