Thank you, TSPR, for this great article about our new exhibit opening today! The gallery will be open today from 4pm to 7pm.

Fred and Nancy Jones of Macomb have been married more than 60 years, and they’ve each been creating art even longer than that. Yet, they’ve never shown their work together —until now.
