Hosting an opening reception for “Dial It Up,” the gallery’s 18th spring exhibition, introducing Northwest artist Jeanne Cuddeford. She writes about her art, “I love filling in the blanks and finding out what makes a painting sing. I see my flowers from a different angle; the way takes me; they bent in the breeze and showed off against the sky during a plein air painting episode.”

In addition, this gallery welcomes Jason Lambert, a local solo acoustic vocalist and guitarist, who will perform live music. At 6 p.m., Seaside naturalist Neal Maine arrives to speak about the spring season in the local habitats.
