The exhibit opening tomorrow (Saturday, May 1) is called My Best Friend and will feature works from artists Ann Burton and Terri Massey. Hours of the Saturday open house are from 1-4 p.m.

Other activities during the afternoon, open to humans and pets, will be to Adopt a Pet, observe artists creating pet portraits/sketches, and your opportunity to meet the featured artists.
