Attend Art Exhibition Openings
This Friday, from 5-8 p.m. Houska Gallery will celebrate the opening of their new exhibitions. Artist Lauren Tracy’s exhibition “Channel 23” and Foster Owen Atkinson’s “And One!” will showcase the best of fiber art. Wine will be provided for you to sip on as you take in their vibrant, intriguing pieces.
Duane Reed Gallery also has a show opening on Friday from 5-8 p.m., featuring artists Sabrina Pohlman and Sabrina Knowles, St. Louis illustrator Jordan Scott Gaunce and Japanese ceramicist Aya Mori. Pohlman and Knowles’ pieces include hot-sculpted glass and various metal works that are used to create mythological stories. Gaunce’s work combines painting and drawing to repeat geometric forms and drawing attention to details.

After you check out one gallery, head across the street to the other for a night filled with art and culture in the CWE!
