Come One Come All to "Creatures Great and Small "
Show at Clara M. Eagle Gallery on MSU campus sure to please young and old
 “Creatures Great & Small” is an art exhibition coming soon to the Clara M. Eagle Gallery at Murray State University. Curated by Becky Alley, gallery director, this show is a one-of-a-kind experience for people of all ages.The exhibit will run Oct. 23 to Dec. 6. An opening reception on Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. will include free hands-on activities for children, free animal balloons and free animal themed food.More than 1,500 entries were received from all over the world. Alley said the idea for the show came to her because she was noticing many contemporary artists were using animals in their work. She began thinking how in many ways animals are substitutions for people, allowing artists to talk about issues that are often difficult to discuss. Work in the show varies from photography to robot animals, and everything in between.“My goal is that anyone who sees the show finds at least one piece that allows them to look at the world in a new way,” Alley said.Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 1-4 p.m. The Eagle Gallery is on the sixth floor of Doyle Fine Arts Center, located at the corner of 15th and Olive on the Murray State campus. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
