    Gallery 16: Rex Ray.

    Review by RWM: The exhibition invitation reminds of the wonders of Rex Ray. Not every nonrepresentational artist can evoke amusement parks and fireworks, and their associated emotions frozen in time. This is a nice walk down memory lane with the artist. The sky at the park can be filled with wonders. We remember the thrills on the rides and the sounds of the fireworks. Nice to recall being younger, and what at the time seemed like an amazing world.

    Comment by AB: Experiencing Rex Ray's art is pure uplift, exuberance and joy. Choose from an impressive and extensive selection. Definitely recommended.

    Romer Young Gallery: Elise Ferguson - Striped Knot.

    Comment by AB: Elise Ferguson's precision works of art consist of pigmented plaster applied to fiberboard. When you zoom in close, some of them are clearly sculptural in the ways they're constructed. Stop on by.

    ArtHaus Gallery: Say goodbye... Defenestration - The Old Hugo Hotel.

    Artists: Brian Goggin, Maxine Solomon, Mel Solomon, Ruth Eckland.

    Comment by AB: Four artists say goodbye to the Hugo Hotel, the building with all the furniture sticking out of it on the corner of Sixth and Howard Streets (also known as Defenestration, created by Brian Goggin). Brian Goggin bids his farewells with sculpture, Maxine Solomon with paintings, Mel Solomon in photographs, and Ruth Eckland in video.
