Current Special Exhibit: "Kitchen Dreams" by artist Ricky Bernstein. This internationally acclaimed artist and sculptor offers large glass and aluminum wall reliefs that tell a visual story. Bernstein's oversized cartoon graphics pull us into his vivid imagination, recalling a by-gone time of coffee klatches and domestic dramas. His multi-media art presents a narrative of collage-style glass wall hangings with a distinct pop-art flavor. Common stories take on "larger-than-life" proportions and the viewer will feel a sense of nostalgia and recognition, whatever the state of his or her own kitchen.
