“Whether you’re a conflicted idealist, a die-hard capitalist, something in between, or none of the above, you’ve probably found yourself befuddled by shopping malls and big box stores, and people’s behavior within them, during holiday shopping season,” MCLA Gallery 51 manager Ven Voisey said. “This upcoming exhibit is simultaneously an examination of that phenomenon, and a great chance support the local economy by adding artwork from a selection of MCLA Gallery 51 & Downstreet Art – exhibited artists to the holiday gift list.
