An exhibition of works by artist Brock Caron using a mix of illustration, sculpture, painting and printmaking will be on display at the Contracommon Gallery starting in February.

A free opening reception will be from 6-9 p.m. on March 5. A private viewing appointment is required Mondays-Thursdays. Noon-6 p.m. (Fri.-Sun.). Free. 12912 Hill Country Blvd., Ste.
