Combined Reception - 'Terri Shockency: Double Entendre' and 'A Small Wonder Gift Shop'

Music provided by Berchtold & Stear

Meet the exhibiting artists and view their artwork in three galleries and the 3rd floor classroom.

Terri Shockency: Double Entendre– Preston Jackson Gallery

Terri Shockency creates paintings that are illustrated puns, and the punchline is the title. In her series, If Animals Were People, she depicts famous people as their anthropomorphic selves, revealing our absurdly happy human relationships. She began the series during the dark days of the pandemic to cheer herself and hopefully others as well.

11th Annual A Small Wonder Gift Shop – Gallery 3R

A small wonder means small work from local artists and that means work priced for holiday gifts! Gallery 3R is turned into a gift shop for small works of art. Just like a gift shop, buyers may take home the item at the time of purchase. Shop early for the art lover in your life. Glass, ceramics, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, original prints and lots more will be on display.

Acoustic duo Berchtold & Stear share a special musical chemistry on stage, covering Folk, Delta Blues, Rock classics and original tunes, including David’s award-winning instrumental “Serenity.” Multi-instrumentalist Brian Stear’s harmonica, mandolin and porch board bass playing (and occasional washboard) is the perfect complement to David’s acoustic finger picking and his hard driving alternating-thumb playing style.

Free admission / donation requested, complimentary snacks & drinks provided.
