Elliott Museum Hosts

‘Magnificent Me’ And ‘In Her
Image’ Exhibits

The Elliott Museum has unveiled two new, unique exhibits
– “Magnificent Me” and “In Her Image” – that are intended to
capture the interest of children, families and art enthusiasts.
Both exhibits will be on display through March 8.
In Her Image is a themed, juried art exhibit that pays
tribute to women and women’s issues. Using various
mediums, 33 artists created their work of art on discarded
mannequins provided by the art club.
