The monthly art exhibit by the Art Guild at Fairfield Glade beginning March 3 is a colorful collection of “Abstract” art.

This exhibition of sleek, vibrant, hip color schemes moves us into a brighter, more playful display. The good old days were filled with recess, eating glue, and scribbling with rainbow-colored crayons. And while your drawings might not have been masterpieces, you can re-capture the fun, by looking for the creatively-named colors of your childhood in the art exhibition.

Inspiration for this art work comes from the dedication of these artists, and it is worth a look for lots of neat and different kinds of displays. All items displayed can be viewed or purchased at the Plateau Creative Arts Center, 451 Lakeview Drive (off Peavine).
