Running until Nov. 1, the show offers an intriguing mix of innocence and sophistication. The single most striking work is the mask-like dinosaur sculpture (above, left) by Xiomara Babilonia inspired by the student art work of Solomon Tannenbaum (larger photo). Many of the artists -- young and old -- appeared with their works at Saturday's reception. Don Jackson executed a wooden interpretation of a drawing by young Derek Hinsey (above, right) (larger photo).
