Gallery 194 Has Relativity

“Relativity” is now on display at Gallery 194 through Saturday, February 7th. Webster’s dictionary defines ‘relativity’ as “A theory that all motion must be defined relative to a frame of reference and that space and time are relative, rather than absolute concepts.” At Gallery 194, however, that is being redefined as “A collaboration between relatives taking over the walls of Gallery 194. “Relativity” showcases sisters, Marianna Fiedor and Marilyn Biefer along with their very talented children, Amanda, Brent and Aaron, fill the gallery walls with a collection of colorful creations that are truly unique and will warm you right up during this cold winter weather.
