Untamed Dreams: New exhibit opens October 2nd at Studio B in Cumberland

In 2015, Studio B Gallery hosted another successful series of Collage Nights – dropin sessions open to anyone and everyone interested in the art of collagemaking. Highly popular, Collage Nights will commence again this Fall. Select collages were printed into art cards and sold to raise funds for local nonprofit organization, Sew Sisters Artist Guild Society, under which Studio B operates. The art cards can be purchased at the CVAG gift shop as well as Studio B Gallery. Untamed Dreams will remain on exhibit until early December. Audience of all ages is invited to attend the opening reception on October 2 at Studio B Gallery located at 2704 Dunsmuir Avenue in Cumberland.
