SUMMARY:Play as Practice\, Exhibit at Cove Gallery
DESCRIPTION:‘Play as Practice’ is a five-artist exhibition which explores the relationship between formal work and studio play.

Gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday\, 12-7pm and Sunday-Monday\, 12-5pm. \nAn opening reception will be held on Thursday\, May 21 from 5-7pm.
