“Tell Me a Story” Opening Reception

Tell Me a Story Art Exhibit
March 6-29, 2020
Opening Reception: Friday, March 6 from 7-9pm

Join us at Del Ray Artisans gallery for a variety of stories told from local area artists. Have you ever looked at a piece of art and your imagination immediately starts to wander? Narrative art tells a story, either as a moment in an ongoing story or as a sequence of events unfolding over time. A picture is worth a thousand words; Tell Me a Story will take you on an imaginative journey.

Meet the curator and artists at the opening reception on Friday, March 6 from 7-9pm; and register now for these special workshops held in conjunction with the exhibit:
