Annex Gallery - Artwork from Visual Artist David Reed’s ongoing workshops with Acclaimed Regional Artists Perris Mackey, Stacey Pinover and Linda Zolten Wood, with distinct representations inspired by each instructor, in his detailed and thoughtful paintings, drawings and collage. This exhibit closes 6pm Saturday November 28.
Please watch this discussion for gofundme opportunity to support his work, an upcoming full color paperback book and possibly a scholarship fund for other special needs students.
See @Zolten Wood Design for more of David’s work over the last decade.
After spending a decade teaching in public schools, Lou took the next logical step: quit to become a comedian.
His comedy has earned more than 100 million views, taken him across the country with Bored Teachers and Unteachables, and landed him on NBC and stages including The Comedy Store.
On Saturday, November 21, we’re turning Stella’s Art Gallery into an intimate pop-up comedy club for one night.
Explore the gallery, bring your own drinks, or grab beer and wine inside, then settle in for Lou, up close and personal.
Doors at 6:45 PM | Show at 7:30 PM

Stella's Art Gallery
October 2026
Reception at 6pm on Second Friday
Welcome to the chaos of my mind. It is a space I can no longer contain within the confines of my skull. To-do lists, notes, scribbles, sketches, fleeting ideas, haunting memories, snatches of songs, fragments of poems, and the sheer chaos of life dance behind all of our eyes. In this series, I've externalized what can no longer fit. The foundation of this work is the assorted jargon from the mind of a corporate eLearning designer (me). I turned a sketchbook filled with blank potential into a notated graveyard, filling page after page with nonsense too important to discard, yet too trivial to retain.
An artist (also me) needed to intervene and resurrect the beauty lurking within those pages. Beauty was found, but so too were sadness, spite, and melancholy. As you see them now, the pages embody an argument between the artist and the designer, a tense standoff. The artist craves the designer's sharp edges and methodical approach; the designer yearns for the artist's inspiration and creative spark. I invite you to experience their conflict, rife with paradoxes, internal battles, protective horns, cryptic runes, echoes of frustration, and glimpses of desire. It is an unending juggling act, our shared paradox: the parts of us that resent needing the rest.

Stella’s Art Gallery - The OddBall Show
This exhibition seeks artwork that challenges convention through odd, surreal, or eccentric approaches. All media are welcome. Please note that works should avoid violent or gory content; the focus is on the unusual and the curious.
Juror: Mary Urbas
The concept was developed by Salvador Dalí and gained popularity in artistic circles during the 1920s as artists of the Surrealist movement used it to create collaborative compositions. The key to Stella’s fundraiser is artistic collaboration, and participation is not limited to Stella’s artists.
On Sept. 16, 6:30-8:00pm the participants will take turns drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal the drawing and then passing it to the next player, who uses the middle section, folds and passes to the last.
The endeavor will result in full-length portraits, with one person drawing a head, the next drawing a torso and the third drawing the bottom. The catch is you won’t know what was drawn before your turn. The results will be revealed with a corridor exhibit at the opening of October’s “Oddball Show,” and the silent bidding will begin. Winning bids will be announced in November. To register, https://www.stellasartgallery.com/all-classes/p/exquisite-corpse
