It is Moline's only full time resident professional Art Gallery and is located in the historic Moline Commercial Club building downtown Moline. The show will include American Mid-Western artists, three first generation artists Europe and Asia as well as the work of the Phoenix resident artist from Germany.
This is an enigmatic show, capturing the essence of life and living in our River Cities area colored by the music of our beloved Mississippi River. Music influences us with its sounds and feelings, even to the unschooled heart. This show talks about how the music and the river of our area is intrinsically interwoven together in our vision of our area and our lives here, along the Mississippi River. This week is the beginning of the show, the Prelude. Participate in the development of the completed piece. Take some of your experiences home.
