My gallery is nearing full capacity for wall space though there is still room available. Santiago Sanchez of Cedar Rapids will be bringing in several large and colorful paintings next week. He is an outstanding airbrush artist working on canvas. I am interested in art by sculptors, fiber artists and ceramic artists that can be displayed on the main floor. If you work in any of these genres and are interested in having your work, please contact me. Also, if you are an artist interested in having a 30 day individual show, I want to begin having these type of displays by the end of the month.
