Exhibition Opening: An American Tapestry

Gallery CERO invites you to experience An American Tapestry, a summer exhibition celebrating America’s 250th anniversary through art, history, culture, and community storytelling.
Blending immersive installation art, regional history, historical artifacts, and contemporary works, the exhibition explores the many threads that have shaped the American experience across generations. Visitors will journey through stories of place, identity, creativity, and connection while discovering how local history intertwines with the larger American narrative.
At the heart of the exhibition is “Over at Bob & Margie’s,” an immersive installation by artist and set designer Janas Smith Durkee.
