"OUTSIDE THE BOX"

There are artists who create outside the main stream of ART, sometimes self taught, but always their own vision. "Outside the Box" explores their individuality and uniqueness. Featured painters are Elaine Niemi, Jimmy Reed, Barbara Major-Weaver, C. W. Oakes and Zero Motel. Also paintings on fabric by Parisian Street Artist Maurice Michel Lode. Antonia Small has combined her passion for dance and theater in her pinhole camera work all framed in antique frames. The show also offers Assemblage works by Bill Cook, Constance Kiermaier and Elaine Niemi, Kozo Masks by Diane Green Hebert, and mixed media metal sculpture by Brian Read and Jay Hoagland.
