This engaging show of artists who use glitter, beads, fake jewels, foil, sequins and other sparkly materials includes an elaborate altar by Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, a life-sized winged "Victory" made of crushed auto glass by Mandad, a beautiful half-round yellow column imbedded with acrylic gemstones by John Torreano, and Sandra Payne's quietly poetic conjunctions of clear glass vases and rhinestone-studded pieces of driftwood.
