Coop's 'Good Year' in Swindle Magazine!!!

The infamous Rubber Track.... Coop's 'Good Year' is one of Gallery 402's favorite pieces. We have had it in the window of the store in the past and most recently hung it for our Valentine show. Now you can see this amazing painting in Swindle, a nationally published art mag. Swindle (www.swindlemagazine.com) Issue 15 has an amazing article on Chris Cooper "COOP" and they use an image of this painting to show his work. Pick up a copy of this at your local bookstore (Barnes and Noble carries it in Wausau). It's almost as good as seeing it in person... not quite, but almost. In case you forgot what it looks like in person, hurry up and stop into the gallery to get one last glance!

You Must Be This Tall To Ride

Thanks to everyone who made it out to see our special valentines exhibit "You Must Be This Tall To RIde". There was a great turnout at the private event as well as during the 72 hour opening. People left with smiles (or smirks) and enjoyed the racier subject matter. Also, thanks to our neighboring businesses for donating beautiful and tasty food and beverages. Another big thanks to BVO, our jazz DJ, who made the trip up from Milwaukee.
We are currently hanging a Street Art show with an upcoming opening on April 10th. This show will be in conjunction with the CVA's Body Art Show (opening the same evening). The show will consist of graffiti artists, street artists, and the back room is continuing to showcase 4 original paintings from the legendary Robert Williams, creator of Zapp Comics and Juxtapoz magazine. The show is going to be fantastic and we have some exciting surprises for the opening night. Stay tuned and stop in!
