In the Gallery September 24 through October 18
Out of the Box is a month-long exhibition of NAACO gallery members. Members may show work that uses media that differs from that found in their primary body of work, explore new forms of expression, or investigate the path of a different creative process. For those who've visited the gallery before, "Out of the Box" will provide a fresh "twist" on artists whose work you might be familiar with. If you haven't visited the gallery yet, this is the time to do so, since this this is the final Thursday DownStreet Art event!
