MOSCOW — “Life with Linda,” an exhibit featuring works from Moscowan Linda Pall’s personal art collection, opens with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. March 3 in the Third Street Gallery here.
The reception will coincide with Pall’s birthday.
Pall has worked as a lawyer in Moscow for many years, and has long been active in Moscow community activities and politics. She has served multiple terms on the Moscow City Council and, in 2012, the plaza at the city’s 1912 Center was named in her honor.
“I was delighted that the city asked me to exhibit parts of my art collection that I have gathered over the years. I have always thought that it is almost as important to be a patron of the arts as it is to be an artist,” Pall said in a news release.
Items in the exhibit will include a variety of Pall’s acquisitions beginning in the mid-1960s when she was a college student and continuing through items picked up on her travels, commissioned works and prints and works in fiber. The exhibit also will feature some autobiographical information about Pall, and her interest in the visual arts.
The exhibit continues through April 5.
The gallery is on the second and third floors of Moscow City Hall at 206 E. Third St., and hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
