Art Knowledge News features story on Art Gallery's 'Critters'

, an online magazine, on April 25, 2011 featured the 91AV Art Gallery's show "Critters," with several large photos from the show and background on the history of the gallery and its permanent collection.

The writer, Sheldon Gablehauser, notes that 'Critters' is "a mammoth show that fills all three floors of the gallery, the foyer and the grounds. It includes about 300 works by almost 100 artists. “Critters” represents three groups of work – wildlife, farm animals, and pets – in situations that may be heartwarming, entertaining, or even poignant for the viewer. The exhibition is on view through 20 July. The show not only includes the “critters” we interact with every day, but also those that may have been forced from their habitats as our human territory expands, and others that may soon disappear forever. “Critters” features local artists from Maine beside works from artists from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Florida."
