Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to present Arcade by Bill Will. The work in this exhibition is inspired by the historical 20th-century penny arcade games. Using the same mechanical movements and miniature scenes, Will has replaced the original themes with contemporary issues in a hopefully humorous and disarming way.

Will has had over sixty-five solo exhibitions and installations, has completed more than thirty public art commissions, and has received numerous grants and awards including the Bonnie Bronson Fellowship Award.
