"Dude Ranch" @ Gallery 100 Look. If the title "Dude Ranch" doesn't already have you sold on this BFA group sculpture exhibition, we're officially wary of you, partner. Boasting "excessive bravado," the show collects works from ASU students artists Roy Cardenas, Sutton Demlong, Andrew Dunn, Nathan Haney, and Sanford Worth. "Although showing in vastly different aesthetics, each artist brings a cohesive and dynamic unity to the gallery bringing a lighter more humorous side of male chauvinism," exhibition organizers note. Check out the chaps-optional free exhibition from noon to 3 p.m Friday, March 29, at Gallery 100.
