Arches Gallery Artists
I've been fortunate to be part of the Arches Gallery Artists at the Workhouse Arts Center since 2014, and have my third solo exhibit scheduled in March.

Our collective of 20+ artists, who work in ceramics, jewelry, mixed media, painting, and photography, displays our work in the gallery. Exhibits are changed each month, and we take part in the Second Saturday activities at the Workhouse.

Stop by the gallery from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and noon to 5 on Sunday. We are in Building W-9.

The group also has a new website. You can see my page at https://archesgallery.weebly.com/glenn-cook.html, and I urge you to look at the other artists' work as well.
