Roger Evans: The Lighter Side of Art<\/strong>
\nMarch 4-30<\/p>\n

Roger Evans is known for placing animals in iconic social settings \u2013 a kind of \u201cFar Side\u201d cartoon in three dimensions. He uses animals to express human foibles in a way that bypasses assumptions related to race, class, sex, age and other human markers. Sometimes, it\u2019s serious, sometimes it\u2019s just for fun which is the focus of Evans\u2019 March exhibit. Artist reception Saturday, March 8, 1-3 pm.<\/p>\n
