Every time we have a new theater production at First Pres Theater the gallery committee has a new display of art in the gallery (which is also the lobby for the theater). Over the years we have had lots of interesting displays of all sorts of art works - sculptures, paintings, pottery, weaving and so much more. You get the idea. We show mostly local artists but have featured art pieces from as far away as Japan and Palestine. The art on display now is local and very unique. In honor of the play "Sylvia" which is about a dog (and no, I don't play the dog) they are showing 200 dog pictures created by school children from several local schools. These are some of the best of a larger exhibit that was first shown as part of one of the major dog shows held a couple of years ago at the coliseum. Many, many years ago, in my first career, I was an art teacher, and it's always a pleasure for me to see what elementary school children can create. Such imaginations! So, if you're coming to the play, which starts next weekend, be sure to make time to admire the art.
