Interactive art exhibit on tap at guild’s gallery

An interactive art exhibit will land at Boulder City Art Guild’s gallery in June.

The centerpiece of Yvonne Betts’ exhibit is a 10-foot-wide wall of several hundred colorful butterflies shaped into the wings of a single giant butterfly. Titled “#Butterfly Me,” the piece was designed to encourage people to take pictures of themselves as a butterfly and then post the picture on social media using the tags #Butterfly Me and #FlutterGallery.

A reception in Betts’ honor will be held from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, June 2. She will be on hand to answer questions about her work.

Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome to attend.

Her work will be on display throughout the month. The galley is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
