About 20 people walked through the Butler Art Center late Wednesday, March 15, afternoon for the Associated Artists of Butler County’s first show of the year, “Then and Now,” which features new and old pieces by artists who have displayed at the center before.
Joyce Ann Schnur, a board member of the art center, said it was “invigorating and hopeful” to see the gallery opened once again for art viewing after it had been closed through the winter because of an unexpected boiler failure.
