The People's Gallery
You want a true reflection of the creative goodness that goes on in this town, citizen? As far as the visual arts are concerned, City Hall's People's Gallery nails it to the wall (in a manner of speaking) with another amazing collection of local work – more than 100 new pieces on display – from a panoply of masters and emerging artists alike. And we reckon Friday's opening reception will be sufficiently delightful to even be worth the hassle of finding a parking space – now that's a recommendation!Reception: Fri., Feb. 23, 6-9pm -

It's a vivid personal mythology that we've reveled in before and are excited to see the newest manifestations of here.Through March 3
