A new show hangs at the ARA Gallery for the month of January: photo collage paintings by ARA member Jason Mallery. Using photos and acrylic paint, Jason crafts subtle, evocative, surreal paintings. His unusual works convey humor, wonder, and an occasional edge of menace. Come see the show! ARA Gallery, Center for Arts and Learning, 46 Barre Street, Montpelier. Gallery hours: M-F 8 am-6 pm; S-S 10 am-5 pm.
