We can't promise the martini party at River's Edge Gallery in Wyandotte will be quite as swinging a scene as the one painted by Slaw, but the spirit will be there, as well as Slaw and his paintings, photographer Vato and the "No Vacancy" exhibition, and the four photographers who are part of the "Fe-Male" photographic exhibition — all showing at the gallery.

The exhibitions include "A Side of Slaw," new works by Detroit's "king of retro painting," Slaw, whose animated artwork creates a comically romanticized look back at those ring-a-dinging days of the late 1950s, early '60s.
The exhibition also includes "No Vacancy: Roadside Motels," photography by Vato and the paintings they inspired.
On the third floor photography gallery is a new show called "Fe-Male," with the works of Joe Crachiola, Judy Eliyas, Elayne Gross and Robert Stewart, curated by Patricia Izzo.
The shows will run through July 9.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 1-734-246-9880 or visit www.artattheedge.com
