Gallery Ten Ninety-One presents the annual Bartlett Art Association December Virtual Showcase that will run from December 1-30.

While this show is normally on-site, restrictions due to COVID have made a virtual show a more practical and safer option. The online exhibit will be available for viewing and purchases through WKNO’s Gallery 1091 website.

There will be a wide range of work from local artists available for purchase in a variety of media including acrylics, oils, photography, mixed media, alcohol ink, pastels, and others. Original sizes range from 8 x 10 inches to 30 x 40 inches and feature a wide price range with 25% of all sales going to help support WKNO.
