On exhibit are abstract paintings by Carl Sublett, minimalist works by Russell Smith, assemblage and collage by Charles DuBack, Marilyn Quint-Rose, Roderick Slater and Pietro Stanziale and sculpture by Donn Moulton.

Also on display is Outsider art by Ian Baird and Elaine Niemi and mixed media collage by Eleanor Zuccola. Both shows run thru Sunday, August 13th. In lieu of a reception the gallery is offering a gathering of “The Dead Artists Society” on Fridays from 4-5 p.m.
