New Works by Kris Killman on Display in Marion
Kris Killman's new watercolor works will be displayed at the Little Egypt Arts Center in Marion Illinois starting this Monday, Nov. 5. The show will run through the month of November with the reception being Nov. 30th, 5-7 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
There are new florals, portraits, landscapes and wildlife images -some from Yellowstone, Florida and local scenery.The art center is manned by all volunteers -there are no paid positions there. So the best time to see the solo show "during the week" is midday while a docent,"volunteer" is working there.
The show will be on the north wall in the gallery section of the art center. If you would like an unusual art experience, come out this Sunday during the hanging of the show, say early afternoon. That would be a good time to get close to the originals without having to fight crowds at the reception.
Also Kris will be showing his photography at the Marion Cultural Civic Center located on the town square. You can see these works during normal business hours through the week. This show runs through the end of December.
You can also see a couple of the works in the Marion Carnegie Library in a group show during normal business hours and this show runs through December.
