THE ART OF THE STEAL
On Display in Main Gallery, October 21 to November 18, 2025
They say good artists borrow and great artists . . . STEAL . . . so we're giving you full permission! For The Art of the Steal, we ask artists to channel their inner thief and create an original piece in the style of their artistic hero. Maybe it's Picasso, or Dali, or a teacher that inspires you. Show us how you steal like a pro . . . with style, wit, and plenty of imagination!
