WANTAGE — The "Brighter Days" reception for the Skylands Gallery & Studios was Saturday, April 30, from 5-9 p.m.
With hundreds of pieces created by the 13 members of artist run gallery, it continues to be one of the best places to view and purchase high quality affordable artwork created by local artists and artisans.
