“Whispers” Exhibit dates through

An off the grid, exciting exhibit is here! If you ever played a game called “Telephone,” you’ll get the idea behind this exhibit. Eight groups of four are creating their collaborative paintings, beginning with one photo and a theme word. Each artist creates a painting based NOT on the original photo, but only from the artist’s painting before them, and the theme word. Visit the Audubon Museum today, to see where their creativity takes this fun exhibit! For more information, please call Kim McGrew-Liggett at 502 782-9726
