An art enthusiast at Bennett Galleries exhibit

Bennett Galleries

Established in 1977, Bennett Galleries is home to a distinctive collection of contemporary art by established and emerging artists. Featuring fine art and sculpture, Bennett Galleries showcases works by many artists, including Silvius Krecu, who creates art on canvas from images and people separated through the distance of time and space, Keith Abney, who paints in heavy layers abstracts and still lifes, and Craig Alan, whose artistic experiments and vigorous training in art blends some with his interest in theater, make-up, and set design elements, which can be seen in the mixed media of his art, from shadow boxes to canvas.
