On view from Tuesday, May 5 through Sunday, May 30, there will be an artist’s receptions on Saturday, May 9, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Ehrlichman, competition committee co-chair, presents a lighthearted view of clothing in her new work a will offer a clothes-line collage demo on Tuesday, May 5, and on Sunday, May 10, (Mother’s Day) at 1 p.m. 

“Our clothing can reveal who we are,” Ehrlichman said. “It can hide us. It can tempt us with the beauty of its colors and textures.  When we put it on in the morning, we consider who we want to be.  And sometimes, at the end of the day, we just take it all off and throw it on the floor.”

Visitors have an opportunity to watch Larkin, gallery president, while he creates a new painting on Sunday, May 17 at 1 p.m. 

b.j. spoke gallery is located at 299 Main St. in Huntington.
