Bringing Art to the People and People to the Arts

It’s time again for our Annual Juried Show, featuring artworks selected by this year’s juror, Jackie Adams. Of the work, Jackie said, “Every selected piece felt like a breath of fresh air, full of joy, whimsy, and magic. They were transportive in that respect, offering lovely moments of escapism, beauty and curiosity.”

Join us at the opening this Friday, May 15th from 5:30-7:00pm. You’ll be able to wander our four galleries filled to the brim with artwork created by artists near and far. Meet the artists, chat with friends and enjoy light refreshments.

Awards for Annual Juried Exhibition will be announced at 6:15pm, so stick around to congratulate the winners.

If you can’t make it to the opening reception or simply want a quieter time to return and reflect on the artwork, you’ll have plenty of time to see the shows during our regular gallery hours: Wednesday-Friday (1-4pm) or Saturday (10am-1pm) through June 19th
