We are featuring a Kirksville native: Dana Forrester!

Dana has been painting professionally since the early 70s. He’s exhibited in and won awards in most national and museum juried exhibitions and major art shows across the US.

You won’t want to miss this show! It will be on display at the SRAC from October 24th to November 23rd.

Meet Dana in person and talk about his works during the reception on Thursday, October 27th from 5:30 PM to 7PM!
