Opening: Thursday, May 23, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

This show will be partly Marlene’s work and partly Guild members work. This exhibition is a celebration and nod to Marlene's artwork. It is also a launching point to celebrate the role of the Surface Design Guild in our lives as artists. We are in a unique position to showcase the influence the guild has had in encouraging our individual artistic expression.
