Join us for an art “Whodunnit” of miniature proportions, and we don’t mean a murder mystery! Over 200 original works of art (5x7” ready to hang paintings) created by local and regional artists will be available for purchase with just one catch - the identity of the artist will not be revealed until after a purchase is made. When they go on sale for the incredibly low price of $40 each, they will be bought on a first come, first served basis. You don’t want to miss the fun and the chance to own a one of a kind “mini masterpiece”!

Shown together, works by these two artists constitute a powerful and memorable experience for all of those who have followed their distinguished careers, as well as for those just now being introduced to their works.
