More contemporary mixed media will be shown on the gallery walls when artist Robert Evans' works will be spotlighted in the show "Vertical Horizons: Inharmonic Shifts of Light, Color, and Texture." The exhibit opens Nov. 28 and closes Jan. 30, with a reception on the closing day.
Blue Mountain College art instructor and artist Gail Morton will bring her paintings and ceramics for the show, "Coming into Focus," which opens Feb. 13 and continues through March 19. The opening reception is planned for Feb. 13.
