DENTON, TX.- This will be the first venue
outside
of PDNB Gallery for the traveling show, “SHINE”. A smaller version of
this
exhibition debuted at PDNB Gallery last Fall. The Greater Denton Arts
Council
has graciously accepted this unique exhibit for the Meadows Gallery at
the
Center for the Visual Arts. Photographs and various shoeshine
paraphernalia will
be featured. Burt Finger, Director of PDNB Gallery, has collected
shoeshine
boxes the past 8 years. It all started with a gift of a shoe shine box
given as
a special piece of folk art by a friend. The collection of photographs
with the
same subject became an integral part of the compilation as well.
