Did you know three new exhibits are opening at the Parkersburg Art Center tonight during Meet Me On Market? Be sure to stop by their PODA bar and tour the next exhibits and shop at The Market! 🎨✨

Here's what to expect at the center's next exhibits:
~ Allied Artists: 72nd Juried Exhibit: Allied Artists of West Virginia, Inc., is a non-profit, educational and cultural association whose mission is to encourage, nurture, and present the work of West Virginia artists to the community. Since 1930, AAWV has encouraged artists to show their work, fostered the development of new works, and furthered artistic interests in the community.

~ Ki No Kaze: The Art of Bonsai: For a limited one-week engagement, the Ki No Kaze group brings the living art of bonsai to the gallery. These West Virginia artists shape and train miniature trees into striking natural sculptures—each one a meditation on balance, patience, and care.

~ On & Off the Wall: ReStore ReDesign: Presented by Habitat for Humanity of the Mid-Ohio Valley. Local artists using their creativity to transform ReStore pieces into fresh, imaginative works of art. Works will be included in a silent auction fundraiser benefiting Habitat for Humanity MOV.
