Their art will be displayed for the whole month, with an open house held on Sept. 17, 2026 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. It will include light refreshments, live entertainment, 10% of all purchases, and opportunity drawing. The gallery’s normal hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
