With the onset of spring comes the excitement of our crown jewel annual exhibition, “Color Splash”, with this year’s exhibit being held at Library 21c in Colorado Springs. This gallery is a two story space filled with light from the skylights above and is located directly across from the library’s multiple Create Space multi-purpose rooms. A large screen TV located in the main lobby will be rotating PLAG information and photos of artist’s works and each piece displayed will be labeled with a QR Code that opens to a list of artist contact information describing all pieces available for purchase.  Art sales are commission free.
