Art Opening at Down Creek Gallery, 5–8pm, for painter Doug Hoover. Doug describes the new body of paintings as a continuation of what he loves to do, which is capturing “momentary impressions of the scenes around me that seem interesting of the people I meet and or see. Skylines, shorelines, or whatever it is I’m experiencing at the moment.” Come out and "Expose Yourself to Art" and enjoy refreshments, and musical entertainment by Rob King.
