Howe Creative Studio & Gallery opens its spring exhibit “Pareidolia: Illusions in Plain Sight.” Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon that allows you to see familiar shapes and faces (hear sounds and voices, too) where they do not actually exist. Visual examples are the “man” in the moon and animal shapes seen in cloud formations. The exhibit will feature photography, paintings, prints and other visual media that expose (or allow the viewer to find) the faces and shapes that speak to us on a subconscious level.

Exhibit dates are Tuesday, April 2 through Friday, May 3. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.

A reception with the artists will be held at the studio on Friday, April 5, from 7 to 9 p.m.
