The Art Gallery@Prism is hosting a wildlife and holiday exhibit through the end of the year. “Our year-end show is now open, and this is an amazing and colorful show exhibition with wildlife and fun holiday artwork — a perfect detour from your usual holiday art show, and a must-see for our community and visitors,” said Gallery Director La Vonne La Tulip Vasick. “Once again, I am pleased at the quality of work the selected contemporary, traditional and 3D artists have provided. With local art and cultural festivals continuing to close, the art community expresses their gratitude for being able to have a well-lit historic venue to display their artwork. The positive feedback from our customers and exhibiting artists about the variety of art offered, the unique venue and how the art is curated has been encouraging and inspiring.”
