Big ideas take center stage on Friday, May 23, as the Millspace hosts Small Talk, Big Ideas, a microtalk event spotlighting local visionaries. The event immediately follows the opening reception for State of Mine, an exhibit challenging artists to capture the spirit of the Granite State. The gallery reception begins at 6:30 PM and is free and open to the public. "Small Talk" ticket holders get to vote for the winner of the "State of Mine" art prize. The microtalks start at 8 PM. All proceeds to benefit the Lamprey Arts and Culture Alliance and the Wentworth Cheswill Historical Monument Fund.
