Ruby Exhibit Radiates

 

     Opening Night guests at the VAC were delighted with all the energy radiating from the "RED" artwork from the

morning light-haas
"Morning Light" by Tim Haas

Ruby exhibit.  Many loved the variety of mediums and shades while others simply enjoyed the warmth that filled 

The Margaret Bowen Gallery!    

     This "RED" exhibit certainly provoked an array of reactions and emotions.

     Don't miss the start of our 2012 gallery season.  Stop by and see for yourself the power of RED.  

     "Ruby, Ruby...all things RED," runs through Thursday, March 8.  Gallery hours are Mon-Fri 10am-4pm and Sat 10am-2pm.   Click here to view Opening Night.
