“We've got three artists who do different things, but they all have a really great spirit, and that's why we've been aimed at capturing the spirit,” said Sally Windle, executive director of ArtSpace Lima. “So when you come in, you're going to see lots of information, lots of styles, lots of stories, but a great, great show.”
The exhibit opens Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. It is free and open to the public. The show will remain on display during ArtSpace Lima’s regular hours through July 26.
