A new exhibit at the Cascade Art Gallery will feature a digital installation by leading video artist Cliff Evans.
The show, “Empyrean,” will be on display from March 5through April 8 at the gallery. Cliff Evans is a multimedia artist whose work focuses primarily on popular and Internet culture using photomontage animation. An opening reception is set from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., March 5.
