The exhibit will open to the public beginning Thursday, March 15, from 4-6 p.m., and several of the paintings will be available for purchase during this time.

The exhibit will be on display through April 25.  The Tech Museum is located in the Techionery, and museum hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.
