MILFORD, PA — Throughout the ages, artists have turned to nature for their inspiration. From May 10 through June 4, the Milford Garden Club will collaborate with the ARTery Gallery for an exhibition that turns this traditional approach to making art on its head. Displayed side-by-side with artwork by gallery members will be masterful horticultural interpretations created by garden club members. In a sense, the artwork becomes the source of inspiration for nature. A wine and cheese reception will be held on Saturday, May 12 from 6 to 9 p.m.

The ARTery Gallery is located at 210 Broad St. Hours are Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information call 570/409-1234.
