Yes, the gods love mischief but maybe its time they made amends with us mortals. Maybe this time their visit should be for your amusement, not theirs? Exactly that is happening this Friday when Bear and Bird Gallery (inside Tates Comics, 4566 N. University Dr., Lauderhill) unveils its newest art exhibit Age of Myths. Nearly 30 artists will display their interpretations of these gods (and the myths that each is affiliated with) all for your enjoyment. Youll feel godlike when you buy a painting and take it home. Having wacky Greeks hanging all over the walls is enough to turn any living room into Mount Olympus. Opening nights party runs from 7 to 10 p.m. Visit www.bearandbird.com.
