Take some time to enjoy the current exhibition at the Allen Sapp Gallery. Peh Mitchisook (Come and Eat) is a collection of Allen Sapp paintings that relates to activities around the creation and enjoyment of a meal. The images show viewers how much work was involved in feeding a family.

The paintings were created in a time span from the 1960s through to 2011 and some have never before been exhibited. Each piece gives the viewer a sense of the story behind that particular moment - the many hands that would be involved for hunting, gathering, harvesting, preparing and enjoying food.

The exhibition also includes other artifacts and a video presentation about Allen and his life. Peh Mitchisook will be on exhibit until April 22.

The Allen Sapp Gallery is located at 1 Railway Ave. E. For more information please contact the gallery at 445-1760. The gallery is open from noon - 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
