Transitional Dimensions exhibit closing on Friday

There are only a few days left to check out this interactive art exhibit at the MCC-Penn Valley Carter Art Center. To see what you've been missing, watch the video above.

The exhibit explores the concept of depth within space that is both real and suggested, done by three local artists. Patrons will experience a range of two-dimensional paintings with dramatic architectural space, constructional textual collages, high-relief sculptural paintings, and three-dimensional constructions. The artists, Steve Mayse, Ellen Wilkins Wolf and Sandra Van Tuyl, have a combination of multiple art and educational awards in their professional fields, both nationally and internationally.

The exhibit will run through March 4, Tuesdays-Fridays, 1 to 5 p.m.
