Good Children Gallery is proud to present Fuss & Feathers, new work by Maddie Stratton. Join us for the opening reception Saturday, February 21, from 6–10 PM.

Love is in the air, as are the smells of delectable treats and champagne. In the darkness outside, wild eyes reflect the gleaming light of the event hall. When the guests leave, the dumpsters, overflowing with shiny delicious trash, will inevitably be left to these spectators—but this time, they won’t want to wait.

Did someone leave a door cracked? Was that the sound of a breaking window?

Unseen and unheard by the raucous, dancing wedding guests, a passageway has somehow emerged for these furry and feathered intruders. Birds, raccoons, and squirrels saunter about, nibbling on hor d'oeuvres, tasting the decorations, and taking what they can get.

The animals don’t understand the need for all the fuss and feathers; it is a frenzy, over the top, literal feathers and lots of fuss. Still, why not partake? Don’t the animals deserve a little fun too?

It will certainly be a night to remember.
