The Open Gallery 329 Main will continue the exhibition of gallery co-owner Mike Mullen’s Squeaky Toy Variations series(see below event)and will add ceramic works by Abby Peacock in an exhibition titled A Roomful of Whimsy. Mullen notes that this series, like traditional still life painting and photography, is “rife with symbolism” conveyed through artful arrangement of his vast collection of old but still colorful plastic squeaky toys.  As always, his work is unique and fun but also provocative. In Peacock explores ideas about communication, language and social interaction in her atmospherically fired porcelain with underglaze designs. She is currently pursuing her MFA at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. 

The First Friday Players will again provide rollicking good Irish music for visitors to enjoy.  The exhibition is family friendly; however, guests will be asked to mask up.

Regular gallery hours: Tue, Thu 12 - 7 pm, Sat 11 am – 2 pm.
