Doors open at 5pm for drinks and dinner. Show starts at 7:30 pm and again at 9:30 pm.

6. Friday, May 25– Lee Silton: Evolution

Juxtaposing organic shapes to create a lyrical sense of design, Lee Silton’s 3D wooden wall sculptures have an intriguing sense of motion while exploring universal themes of encapsulation, isolationism and escapism.

This exhibition traces the artist’s career, focusing on a collection of pieces that show her evolution from a figurative approach to abstract
