Once again, our visitors weigh in on the current exhibition. I look forward to reading these and posting them at the close of every exhibit.

Recent Acquisitions is now closed. We'll be down for a couple weeks installing the next show, the Topeka Competition 29, and will open again for First Fridays, November 6 at 9AM. If you missed this show, remember, you can catch them all at our Flickr page. Enjoy!
