Pacesetter Gallery artists have risen to the occasion, creating inspired work for the Taking Flight Group Show opening November 11, 2023. The wine and cheese come and go event is open to the public from 6-8 PM at Pacesetter Gallery located in Flowood.
“With the holidays coming up we wanted our artists to focus on uplifting art, both literally and figuratively. The smaller scale work is perfect to gift, lifting the spirits and adding joy and creativity to the home. As always, our mission is to connect the public with original art made right here in Mississippi.”, states gallery owner Keri Davis.
