“I love this exhibition because it celebrates partners who have supported and cultivated each other's artistic voices and built creative expression into their marriages,” praised Arts Council Director, Cara Goger.  UNION holds a range of artwork from each couple, recognizing both their individuality as artists and their unity as long-standing creative partners.

UNION will run at the Treetop Gallery from December 14, 2017 through February 25, 2018.
