The purpose of the gallery is to share a variety of art with the community...this Art League exhibit shares a wide variety -- all in one show. There is something here for everyone to enjoy.  The eclectic mix includes everything from paintings and photography, to fiber art, bookmaking and much more.

The book Silk & Venom highlights Greta’s research and her quest to learn more about spiders.
