Piante Gallery

December 14th is the last chance to catch Becky Evans and Jerry Martien's collaborative exhibition, "Water and Power." Sadly, it marks the end for the gallery as well. Piante will be closing its doors for good after this show. Thank you to all the artists, patrons, and friends who helped to make Piante a showcase and celebration of art's diversity, power, and pleasure.
—Sue Natzler, Piante owner/curator
