Pop-Up Gallery Opening a Big Success, 2nd Exhibit to Open Saturday

Art lovers in Fairfax appear thrilled with the opening of the new Metropolitan Art Project "pop-up gallery" in Old Town.

"Our opening on Saturday, June 15 was a huge success," said Robert Golden of The Dickson Company, which leased the space to the group of artists who collaborated to open the temporary, six-week gallery.

Metropolitan will debut a different exhibit by a new group of artists in a celebratory event each Saturday night for the next several weeks.

This Saturday, June 22, 6-9 p.m., the pop-up gallery debuts an exhibit entitled "Momentum," featuring the works of Chris Rackley, Jenny Walton, Michael Schiffer and Jeremiah Holland.

Metropolitan Art Project is located at 10409-A Main St. in Old Town.
