The latest exhibit at the Galleria at the Forum highlights the abstract expressionist work of local artist Danielle Janecek. Growing up in rural Texas immersed the artist in appreciation for the natural world which continues to this day. Working with mixed media to find the abstraction of her observations, she builds images in layers organically to find the final visual statement in each piece.

The Forum is pleased to be hosting a Palette to Palate dining experience for each exhibition in the Galleria. On February 4, 2019, they will present dinner with Danielle Janecek in the gallery. Event details in January, check the Arts Council Website for updates.
