We are delighted to present our annual ICON show, now in its 12th year. It’s always a hit! Our recurring theme invites artists to interpret the word ICON in their own way, and each year, it’s more fun. The gallery received more than 100 entries this year with submissions in painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, glass, collage and assemblage. The show, juried this year by Chris Holt, will include receptions on Second Saturday (April 11) to celebrate all the artists.
