The gallery will also be open for the Lexington Gallery Hop on Friday, Nov. 21, from 5-8 p.m. For more information, contact gallery director Andrea Fisher at (859) 233-8142.\n<\/p>\n<p

Last spring, Lexington artists Morgan and Armstrong approached Morlan Gallery Director Andrea Fisher with the idea of exhibiting artist-made coffins and caskets. \u201cArtists have been fabricating and decorating burial coffins for thousands of years,\u201d says Fisher. \u201cI thought it would be interesting to see how contemporary artists translate our modern day sensibilities into this ancient practice.\u201d The gallery\u2019s regular hours are Monday-Friday, noon-5 p.m. and by special appointment. The gallery will also be open for the Lexington Gallery Hop on Friday, Nov. 21, from 5-8 p.m. For more information, contact gallery director Andrea Fisher at (859) 233-8142.
