The White Gallery in Lakeville reopens with an old favorite: Exhibiting three quite different landscape painters in a single open space is a daunting challenge. Yet that is what Tino Galluzzo has chosen to do for the first show in his new -- and newly renovated -- White Gallery located behind the original White which is now home to Gallery Arts Guild. Agitated work by David Dunlop, a White favorite, is hung near the calm, intricate oils of Carolyn Edlund and the simple, emphatically horizontal pictures of Victor Leger. "Landscapes, Landscapes, Landscapes" continues through September 9. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday, 11 AM to 4 PM. Call 860-435-1029.
