BLOOMSBURG— “Ideas Rebuilt in My Garage While Contemplating Good and Evil,” an exhibit by sculptor and painter Travis Townsend, will be featured in Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania’s Haas Gallery of Art from Sept. 28 to Oct. 23. The exhibit is open to the public free of charge Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 2 p.m.
