Sparrow Art Supply’s next show, “The Ordinary and The Extraordinary,” explores the contrast between the everyday and the out-of-this-world. In this all-media show, artists highlight one, the other, and even combine the two. Over 30 artists illustrate the theme in all kinds of ways, through showcasing intricate processes, giving routine moments the spotlight, bending perspectives, transforming recycled objects and beyond. From painting to collage, to mixed media, photography and more, “The Ordinary and The Extraordinary,” will run from July 14-Aug. 27, with an opening reception on Thursday, July 14, from 4-7 p.m., that’s free and open to the public.

Sparrow Art Supply is an art supply store and gallery at 52 Main Street, right in the heart of Middlebury, next to the waterfall and down the stairs. For more info visit sparrowartsupply.com or call 802-989-7225.
