Art gallery to feature resin works
Unique works in resin will be showcased by Boulder City Art Guild in its gallery throughout April.

“It invites experimenting with different techniques and materials, beyond the usual classic approaches to resin on canvas,” she said.
The public is invited to meet Tode and see her works during a reception from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, April 6, in the gallery.
The gallery is inside the Boulder Dam Hotel, 1305 Arizona St., and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.
