Red Piano Too Art Gallery Hosts 18th Annual Summer Show The Red Piano Too Art Gallery is hosting its 18th Annual Summer Show on Saturday, August 7from 10 am – 5 pm.  According to gallery owner Mary Inabinett Mack, “Each year around this time we have to stop procrastinating and concretely settle on a theme for our annual August Summer Show.  For a long time now, I have been obsessing about art depicting women and water. At home, I have decorated a whole room around this concept, and for the past couple of years I have been working on a series of paintings that I call Women and Water. After much deliberation we finally sort of backed into this year’s theme.  I thought it would be interesting to see how other artists treat the theme:  Women and Water.”
