Etcetera March 9

Fête set Friday

for Mohr exhibit

Residents are invited to celebrate the work of Tom Mohr during a reception sponsored by Friends of the Library Friday, March 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. at The Center at Colfax Library. Mohr's exhibit, “Why I moved to Colfax” is now on display at The Center.

Appetizers will be available, and part of the proceeds from a no-host beer and wine bar will benefit the restroom project at The Center.

The colorful exhibit of photo landscapes and panoramas answer the question Tom most often heard when moving here. He sees the reception as a way to talk about his relocation and his special color technique he calls “painting with photography.” The exhibit, which fills both rooms of The Center, runs through the end of April.

All images are for sale with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the restroom project.
