The Hello, Bright Eyes art exhibit raises the visibility of healthy
vision. Come take a peek at the art from August 7–29, 2020 at Del
Ray Artisans gallery. This exhibit features artwork focusing on eyes,
eyesight, or all the wonders the eyes provide us throughout our years.
Some of the artwork in this exhibit reuses old glasses, lenses and
eyeglass 'arms' donated by the Prevention of Blindness Society of
Metropolitan Washington®. Come see these upcycled pieces, along with
paintings, photographs, sculptures and more. Join us in August to see
