Things that Go Bump in the Night--Oct. 5-Nov. 3

With a premise to reconcile childhood memories of fright, the exhibit is full of things that we've come to know as adults as simple artifacts of the imagination. 

The Vision Gallery wants to embrace this experience and has featured several works of art to evoke fear, laughter, and fun. Afterwards, there will be an artists reception that will allow conversation and maybe even some bonding over great art.
