Drawn Together: Art Without Boundaries Exhibition
December 30, 2025 to January 27, 2026
The Centre, 1200 Holloway, Rolla, MO
We had to make a little detour from the exhibit that we had originally scheduled, when our community lost the fabric artist that had planned to exhibit. Since this was a mother-daughter exhibit and they wanted to exhibit together. we had to pivot.
We looked at our membership forms and several artists had asked to be featured. So we put all of those names into a drawing and selected a few of those artists to be in our January Exhibit.
Invited Artists are:
- Tori Parker
- Constance Roberts
- Meg Brady
- Mary Oliver-Hall
- Leah Woods - (Has not confirmed participation in this exhibit.)
- Douglas Fowler (Has not confirmed participation in this exhibit.)
This exhibit will provide each participating artist with a chance to exhibit more pieces of their work. The exhibit will provide our creative community with the opportunity to see the diversity and complexity of the works each artist has selected to share.
