Gahlberg Gallery Art Exhibit — Parameters of Preciousness. Does something have to be rare or costly to be precious? When something is beloved or dear, isn't it also precious?

What happens when artists who traditionally negotiate "preciousness" challenge its essence? This show is the result of that exploration. Gallery hours: Mondays to Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Thursdays, 6 to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; also open during Mainstage events and by appointment.
