The peoples art gallery

I love having art openings at the MAda Shell. There is a certain camaraderie that I feel with the folks who are brave enough to A. show their art work and B. climb up the stairs of this old building to view the type of work that goes far beyond what you usually see in Ashland Galleries. The MAda Shell is the People's Art Gallery ! You don't need to be an insider, or and outsider for that matter. You just need to be!
