There are some people who don’t like puppies. Sad, but true. It’s not merely that they favor another animal, it’s that they actively don’t like puppies. By the same token, there are some people who don’t appreciate art. I don’t know how it happens, but it does. Perhaps these people just haven’t found the right sort of puppy/art for them. At the Paia Contemporary Gallery, I can almost guarantee you’ll discover something that rings your bell. The gallery is constantly exhibiting the creations of multiple artists, and this month we’re treated to the works of Mary Mitsuda, Randall Reid, Ditmar Hoerl and Brad Huck, among others. Maybe amongst all these radical pieces, you’ll meet your artistic match. It’s not a puppy, but it’s close enough, and at least you don’t have to house train artists. (Well, some of them, at least.) www.paiacontemporarygallery.com
