BEAUTIFUL COLORS

Cheer up. If the Mavs‘ loss has you in a black funk, go to the Conduit Gallery opening on Hi Line Drive this Friday, June 23. If seeing Rex Ray’s exuberant collages don’t make you smile, nothing will. Says Ray, “Luckily, I’m not the only one who sees beauty as still relevant to the fine arts, and despite the countervailing tendency to embrace ugliness, being beautiful is again on the rise in art circles.” Smile.
