Art and the fine art of clowning around will be on display Friday evening at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center in Iola.
The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a reception and talk, “Generations of Marta,” featuring art from three members of one family over several decades. The exhibit is free and available during regular hours, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday, beginning Friday until Feb. 10 at the Mary L. Martin Gallery.
After the artists’ reception Friday, comedian Ananda Bena-Weber takes the stage at 7 p.m. in the Dale P. Creitz Recital Hall. Her performance, which she calls “Fancifool!,” merges comedy, drama, dance, impressions and more.
