Art and Soul Gallery and Gift House Presents: The Year of the Horse exhibition

There is something ancient and magnetic about the horse — a creature that has run alongside human history for thousands of years, wild and willing in equal measure. In this August exhibition, Art & Soul Gallery invites you to experience that spirit through the eyes of a local artist.

Working in various mediums, the artist captures what photography rarely can: the feeling of movement frozen in a single line, the weight of a mane caught in wind, the quiet intelligence behind a dark eye. These are not portraits of horses so much as portraits of freedom.

Free and open to the public. On view August 3–31 at Art & Soul Gallery & Gift House, 427 E. Sheridan St., Ely, MN.
