August Exhibition

 

Bone Yard Poets – Etchings by Robert Spicher

 

Spicher’s expressive figures and imaginary animals exist in a universe all of their own. A Vietnam veteran who has exhibited his paintings since the 1980s, Spicher’s art is a reflection of his love for life, and his firm belief in alternate realities. This is the first exhibition of his prints.

First Friday Artscrawl Reception: August 1, 5 – 8:00 PM
