The Say What? Contemporary Art Gallery is closing its doors permanently on Saturday, September 21, 2019. To mark the occasion, we invite you to join us from 4:00p.m. to 6:00p.m., to meet with some of the artists we have represented, and bid farewell. For seven years, we have been proud to showcase works by both established professionals and new voices in the visual arts. Our mission has been to give the mountaintop community and the surrounding areas a resource for contemporary art and exploration. We have shown works across the broad spectrum of American art, and invited a number of international artists to join our exhibits, as well. Another key component of the gallery's mission has been student outreach to the local schools with speakers and guest artists, in addition to our annual high school student art show. We want to thank our patrons, and our many artists for the continued support over the years, and recognize that our success was due to your interest in what the Say What? Gallery offered.
Please join us Saturday, September 21, from 4:00p.m. to 6:00p.m., for a final send off.
