The special exhibit will feature the landscape photography of the current Canyons of the Ancients artist-in-residence, Lanny Wagner.

Refreshments and appetizers will be provided. Musician Bentley Monk will provide live music. Participants will also have the opportunity to bid on goods donated by local businesses and creations by local artists in a silent auction.

Cost for the show is $10 for members and $15 for members. Register online at bit.ly/onwardfoundation. Proceeds benefit the artist-in-residency program and education initiatives coordinated by Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
