Art in Motion Exhibition Celebrates Art, Movement, Community and their Interconnections!

Coinciding with Plein Air, the town’s most-celebrated annual art festival, the Art in Motion gallery exhibition invites residents and visitors to explore the intersections of creativity and mobility as interpreted by our exhibiting artists.
