Walls & Windows Exhibit

Last night was the opening for Todd Wozniak, Israel Davis and Nate Tonning at the Avenue of the Arts' Tributary Art Gallery.

This collection of ceramic sculpture & pottery was a breath of fresh air on the gallery scene that has of late become rather stuffy. While the guitarist played requests from the attendees, the art was clearly center stage as patrons would gather around the works in conversation.

Israel Davis' work was very whimsical in its fun presentation. While I will not try to unlock the mystery of his works here, I do believe it is important to see this show.

Tributary Gallery is headed by the Bouck brothers who along with other up start galleries on the newly named Avenue of the Arts are changing the art landscape of this town one show at a time.

For those who miss the early 90's energy of the Reptile House and the loft art openings from artist Nate Neering, this new group of galleries has revived that energy on this street.
