    Town/City: Tampa, FL

    Description:

    "A Fairy Tale Gone Wrong" will be displayed in the Centre Gallery from March 1 -5, 2010. The inspiration came from a previous relationship that not only went wrong, but lacked closure.

    The end of a relationship is something that we all experience, yet deal with differently. Artists Kimberly Adams, Jaime Carrejo, Cheri Lee Charlton, April Childers, Jessica Marquez, and Gordon Ricketts will display artwork related to their prior experiences, current issues and interests.

    Cheri Lee Charlton will give an artist lecture at 6 p.m. on March 3, prior to the 7 to 9 p.m. opening reception of “
