The public might be familiar with pencil, but the Special Exhibit committee has chosen this theme with the motive to promote the art and surprise the visitors coming to the event. The work to be presented at the exhibit at the Beyond the Point Gallery is going to exemplify fine art, varied styles and techniques used in pencil work and varied subjects as well.
