A herd of animals and wild paintings fill the gallery! Large-scale works by Randy Sturgis and found-object creations from Peter Koronakos have arrived. You can even pick up a scavenger hunt sheet and go on an art safari.
Join us Saturday, April 18, for Randy and Peter's gallery talk. Randy will speak at 2:30 p.m., and Peter will come next at 3:15 p.m. Bring your questions for this lively discussion.

Ars Poetica, a Latin term for the art of poetry, is the title of a special exhibition of work by Northwind Art School students.
Eleven artists, participants in Meg Kaczyk's Paint from Poems course in February, chose a poem by a Northwest writer. They then responded to it with a variety of art media, ranging from vivid acrylic to textured collage.
In the gallery, their pieces are displayed beside their chosen poetry, showing the dialogue between the two art forms.
Join us for the Ars Poetica poetry reading, a festive event at 3 p.m. Saturday, April 25.
