** Sept. 27 - Oct. 16: Gratitude Gallery **

The Foyer Gallery artists are opening their gallery for Gratitude, an exhibition of community photographs. At the request of the gallery, these photos were submitted by anyone (not necessarily artists) who took the time to photograph something or someone that they were grateful for. This is a great project for the gallery to involve the community in a fun activity and exhibition just in time for Thanksgiving. The photographs will be shown at the Foyer Gallery and on the project website at http://www.gratitude.gallery/. The exhibition runs from September 27 to October 16, with an official opening on Sunday, October 2 from 1 to 3 pm.
