A reception for the artists will be held Friday, May 1 from 5-8pm.  Show dates are April 29 through May 31.

Among the paintings being shown is Ethel Vrana’s String Quartet, Stephan Phillips’s still life Horse Skull with Beads, Barbara Mink’s Wedding Bouquet and Erica Pollock’s Jewelry Way. Leslie Brill, who usually exhibits paintings, will show a large charcoal drawing titled Something Different.
