HERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS HAPPENING SOON AT THE GALLERY! DON"T MISS OUT ON ALL THE FUN!

UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP:
Agatha the Chicken & Delilah the Dog


Some might ask, "Why are we hosting a CHICKEN and a DOG at the gallery this Saturday?"  And to that we reply: " WHY NOT!  It's 2020 and if people's lives can be made happier by a visit from a chicken and a pup that love to hang out together, then why not. Of course, to make it artfully relevant, we are asking folks to drop by and sketch or snap a photo of the duo from 2pm-3pm at the gallery. A great opportunity to draw from life! We are setting up socially distanced chairs outside and inside the gallery. All you need is to bring your own paper, pencils and pens. All ages are encouraged to drop by.

While you are visiting the gallery make sure to check out the latest show "HOMESTEAD " by Isobel Hamilton. Below is one example of her painted magic but you can find the entire show online HERE.
