Upcoming Exhibits
The Nature of Art - Roxborough Artists Guild

Blossom - Art of Flowers
August 23 - November 16
In the world of floral art, there has not been a recent, major competition or exhibition equivalent to the blockbusters of other specialty subjects such as animals, birds, national parks or the West. Blossom - Art of Flowers was conceived to fill this void and showcase the quality and diversity of the best work with a floral theme being produced today.

Robot Zoo
October 11, 2008 - January 4, 2009
Robot Zoo reveals the magic of nature as a master engineer. Robot animals and hands-on activities allow children to explore fascinating real-life characteristics such as how a chameleon changes colors and how a fly walks on the ceiling.
The larger-than-life-size animated robots include a chameleon and a platypus. Also featured is a house fly with a 3-foot wingspan!
Cutaways expose the animals' insides as a host of easily recognizable machine parts and gadgets, such as shock absorbers and pumps that demonstrate what makes animals work. By comparing anatomy, environments and size of the actual creatures to the mechanic counterparts, The Robot Zoo provides fantastic new insights and hands-on fun for discovering just how animals work.
