Gallery at the Old Post Office Announces Exhibits
This article is updated regularly to reflect new exhibits.
Hanover’s Gallery at the Old Post Office has announced its upcoming exhibit schedule. Details are noted below, but all dates, times, and themes are subject to change.
Each call for submissions will be announced on the Gallery’s Facebook page and via its email list. (To be added to the list, email Andy Smith. Previous artist participants are automatically included.)
