    Join us First Friday, June 4 from 5 to 8pm for the opening reception for Salida-based artist Jimmy Descant-the Rocket Man and his exhibition: Rocket For The Positive, By A Cyclops: Jimmy Descant. The exhibition continues through June 25. Also join us for a special First Saturday event at the gallery on June 5 from 12-4pm with Jimmy's INSTANT ART EVENT where visitors can watch the artist create found object quick-sculptures sale for about $50 each.

    New Orleans transplant, now Salida-based artist Jimmy Descant whose art is a reaction to his wonder and imagination concerning the possibilities of manufactured inanimate objects as art, much as Marcel Duchamp did in the early part of the 20th century. The pieces used in his work are mostly from before his time, in an era where space travel would be done in something as fine and stylish as the car produced in 1957 Detroit or the Art Deco juicer on the counter.
