The La Petite Galerie exhibition will be from June 6 through July 5 at the center. Join the organization as they continue the celebration of Earth Day and the work of Mara Darrow with an opening reception at 5:30 p.m., June 14.

Darrow, an avid photographer, will present her “stunning images evoking a childlike sense of awe and wonder in the beauty that surrounds us every day.”

Darrow believes there is beauty in the simplest of God’s gifts such as a bird dancing along splashing waves, the sparkling of the sun off the water as a surfer glides along, and a lone sprig of wild clover in a grassy field.
