The show is ongoing from November 4-December 29. 2010
An artist talk will be given on Saturday, November 13.2010 at 3pm

~Christopher Joy and Zachary Keeting are Modernists. They pull inspiration from the past hundred years and doggedly pursue new forms. They are young painters who appreciate the multifaceted plurality of their time, but see elements in early 20th century art worth re-exploring: its richness, its mystery, its courage.~
