Arts Council announces March gallery show, silent auction to benefit local pooch

The Cecil County Arts Council’s March exhibit is titled “Sign of the Times” and will be on display at the Arts Council gallery, located at 135 E. Main Street in Elkton, Md., from March 6 to 27.

The “Sign of the Times” opening reception will take place on Friday, March 6 at the gallery from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature light refreshments and live music by the band 6 Feet Apart.

The reception will also feature a silent auction of works by Elkton artist Lexi Price. Price, who won the People’s Choice Award at the Arts Council’s 2024 juried show, is auctioning several original pieces to help defray the cost of veterinary care for her beloved dog, Buffy. Her works, which range from sculptures to paintings to engraved mirrors, are bright, colorful and focused on animals.

Founded in 1977, the Arts Council is dedicated to presenting, promoting and sustaining the arts in Cecil County. It offers free, family-friendly gallery shows featuring regional artists, weekly and monthly arts programming and special events focused on veterans, students, the elderly and people with disabilities.
