Time is the theme given to 20 artists participating in the 41st annual Attic Gallery Art Show planned for Friday.

Lesley Silver, owner of the downtown gallery, selects a theme for the show every year and said she thought it would be interesting to see what the artist came up with.

“Everyone is always talking about time,” she said.

Jean Blue, a local artist who will be participating in this year’s show, said Silver is good about choosing open-ended themes allowing for a multitude of interpretations.

“I think these types of shows stretch you as an artist,” Blue said. “It might be a subject you haven’t explored. It’s good to have a starting point to work from.”

All mediums are allowed and some artists will have more than one piece showing.
