Opening Reception for Featured Artists Valerie Runningwolf and Dorothy Whitman
Opening Reception for Featured Artists Centa Schumacher & Al Preciado KALEID Gallery is pleased to present two new solo exhibitions for the month of March: “Portraits of the Innerself” new work by Valerie Runningwolf The person we wake up with every morning or the stranger just passing on the street carries their truth safely hidden on the inside.

Opening Reception for Featured Artists Centa Schumacher & Al Preciado
Feature Exhibitions by Centa Schumacher, and Al Preciado opens with an artists’ reception on First Friday February 3rd, 7-11pm with live music by Freya Seeburger. “Lunar Phases,” new photography series by Centa Schumacher Every of these digitally composited images are made from personal photographs –some “serious”, some snapshots–that I’ve taken over the years.
