“Along These Lines”: An exhibit of acrylic and mixed media works by Sandra Spotts, through Sept. 28 at Gotahold Brewery in Eureka Springs. “Along These Lines” is special to Spotts, he says, because it presents a new direction for his creative work, characterized by a strong linear movement. Thematically, the works explore the “narrative about the different types of lines that surround us, both figurative and physical. These lines sometimes guide us, sometimes inhibit us, and sometimes define us.” Email [email protected]
