DinoHenge Whacktasticness --closes Thurs 1 Nov 2012. Oddest. Exhibit. Ever. (Wonderfully so!) FoamHenge/DinosaurLand sculptor Mark Cline, DC pubs decorator Lee Wheeler, and zen-chainsaw sculptor Glenn Richardson amuse the weirder parts of your mind. Art peekers welcome 9-5 weekdays. Aware that the arts get little news coverage and visual art almost never gets broadcast attention, WMRA, as a service to the region's creative community, has provided visual artists a place to show (and occasional airtime too) since 2005 .
