The opening reception for the exhibit will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the gallery. Admission to the reception and exhibit is free.

“Sam Drumgoole: Redemption” is the title of the exhibit, representing what Drumgoole calls “rebirth, deliverance and reclamation.” The exhibit, which will continue through March, will feature a variety of Drumgoole’s hand-sculpted and blown glass, as well as his two-dimensional reflective works.
