In the back room of the gallery, Art Center Ukiah is hosting a lighthearted show on the theme of ‘Beauty IN the Beast.’ Board members remind us that people and animals have coexisted on this planet for eons, and that we have grown to respect, admire and love our non-human pets and neighbors. “Whether the ‘beasts’ crawl, swim, fly, climb or run, there are endless ways to appreciate and admire them,” says Katie Gibbs, the show’s organizer. She continues, “There will be art in many diverse mediums, and we welcome representations of any kind of animal that moves our local artists to take up this challenge to focus on the beauty that they see in them.
