Events held in pervious years...

"Nourished by Art" featured food-inspired art and art-inspired food prepared by three local chefs a wines from  a local winery.

New Members' Show provided an opportunity for patrons to get to know our newest members.

"Elementary Art" exhibit by students of the Trinity Area School District gave children the total gallery exhibition experience, complete with an opening reception and the thrill of seeing their work on display.

"A Public Hanging" exhibit displayed work created just for this event by local officials, politicians, captains of industry and those in the public eye.

"A Collector's Eye for Art" exhibit asked local community members of note to exhibit a piece of art from his or her private collection. Each participant was asked to write a statement about that work of art: what it means to them, how it came into their collection, why they were drawn to it, etc. These written statements were exhibited alongside each work of art, which made for a very interesting opening reception, with lots of reading and lively discussion on the importance of art and its inspiration in our daily lives.
