Johnson State College’s Julian Scott Memorial Gallery has been transformed into an experimental gallery concept titled O P E N, a gallery where art is meant to be a public and pedestrian sensorial experience in space and time. The exhibit opened Monday, Jan. 25, and it runs through Saturday, March 5.

An artists’ talk will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, with a reception following from 4 to 7 p.m. The exhibit runs Sunday through Saturday, Feb. 7-13.
