Please join us at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, August 13th, for a two-person artist talk with Sarah Gutwirth and Christopher Poehlmann in the Oar Pub, Park Towne Place. Light refreshments will be served.

Both Gutwirth and Poehlmann’s work are included in the current rotational exhibition at Park Towne Place, Gilded Shadows, which explores the connections between the natural and mystical making references to scientific categorization, cultural folklore, and invented fairy tales. Specifically, in their included bodies of work, Gutwirth and Poelhmann both use nature and observation to create narratives.
