A Family Member is a local artist - Roberts Mars

Wilton Library is pleased to present "Western Stars," a solo exhibition by Redding resident, Robert Mars, on view from February 5 through February 27. In this new body of work, Mars explores the intersection of myth and memory, drawing connections between classic western films and the glowing iconography of vintage neon signs. Both shaped the mythology of the American West—transforming history into enduring symbols of freedom, danger, and rugged individualism. By pairing cinematic drama with luminous roadside Americana, Mars examines how these myths persist in our cultural memory, flickering between fact and fantasy, darkness and light.
