The ART of REVOLUTION!

The Gallery is getting ready to give art a voice, a LOUD voice! On Friday, September 2, CGMS Gallery will be celebrating Labor Day with an old-fashioned protest party complete with local labor leaders giving "soap box" speeches and a Woody Guthrie sing-along with Gallery artist and musician Rick Cohen. Gallery Director (and all-around activist) Joyce Brown will be hosting this event, and has created one-of-a-kind sculptures specifically for this event. The Raging Grannies will also join us to lend their voices and songs to our political and social commentary.

To get you in the mood, here's Lukas Nelson singing "Peaceful Solution".


So, dust off your picket signs and come join the fight for ART and SOCIAL JUSTICE!

Grab your Beach Towel...

Attention all you hipsters out there! Get ready for an evening at the beach--1950's style! On Friday, August 19th, Gallery artist Lois Herrick invites you to join us for Vintage Florida - A Day at the Beach! Wear your favorite vintage Hawaiian shirt, Panama Hat, sarong and sandals (with socks if you must) for a fun night celebrating the art of vintage Florida tourism. Vintage postcards and art on display, live jazz by the Mark Doyle/Jeff Abbott duo, great food and more! Who can dress as the wildest Florida tourist? Got some great vintage shades? Wear them! Don't forget the zinc on the nose...it's always sunny in Florida! See you at 6:00!
