On Friday, Jan 28 crowds gathered at the Janet Carson Gallery at the Eau Claire Regional Arts Center (formerly the Eau Claire Regional Arts Center Gallery) as they began a new chapter in this newly expanded and renovated space! Along with new flooring throughout and additional exhibition space, the Janet Carson Gallery now has its own entrance and window facing Eau Claire Street as well as an expanded retail space, all exciting and much anticipated additions. Celebrations included  a ribbon cutting, great music, scrumptious food, presentations, conversation and a viewing of the outstanding inaugural exhibit: Laurie Bieze & Jane Evershed.
