Annmarie After Hours Opening – Friday, Oct. 14, 6-9pm

We all hold fond memories of beloved toys that yielded hours of entertainment and joy, toys that we treasured and kept years beyond our childhood. For these reasons and more, toys can be a powerful art medium, conjuring up a myriad of memories of childhood, past friendships, and other recollections. From the utterly outrageous to the sappy and sentimental, the exhibit includes works that are created from toys, inspired by toys, or are toys themselves. With the holidays in mind, Annmarie invites guests of all ages to immerse themselves in the playful spirit that these artsts have evoked!
