 The iO Gallery in Cornwall Bridge (northwest), Connecticut, will be hosting an exhibit featuring the works of Michael Whalen and Scott M. Fischer. The exhibit, entitled "Archetype", will explore the relationship between dreams and reality, featuring works by both artists. The Artist's Reception will be from 5 to 7PM on 6 September, and the show will run until 12 October.
