This is an engaging show because visitors become acquainted with the artists

through the individual works. Each grouping reveals something about the

artist’s heritage as well as what each artist experiments with and focuses on.

Come meet the artists at the art reception on Sunday, March 5 from 2 to

4pm. During the afternoon, music will be provided by Darius Beckford,

pianist, who will play jazz and contemporary selections some of which he has

composed.

The exhibit timeframe is February 16 ~ March 24, 2023. Gallery hours are

Monday through Thursday 8am to 9pm and on Friday 8am to 5pm.

Kaplan Hall is located at the corner of Grand and First Streets, GPS ~ 73
