Please Join us on Friday, April 29 for a gallery talk with several of the artists displaying work in the Something Else... exhibition. This talk will coincide with a potluck, feel free to bring your favorite dish, dessert, and/or beverage to share! This should prove to be a super swell time and hopefully the start of future events centered around exchange within the community.

Coming up in April:

Something Else...
April 1 - 30, 2011
Opening Reception: First Friday, April 1 from 6 - 9pm
This group exhibition of regional artists highlights work that repurposes everyday objects and materials in their art. Something Else... is an investigation of context, association and furthermore is an exploration of the juncture in which art and life collide. We ask you to regard the process and result in which artists assign new meaning by applying a different context or arrangement to existing materials. This show encourages us to pause and consider how items in our daily lives could be reused or reinvented rather than contributing to the expanding landfills.

A Paper-Making Workshop is being developed in conjunction with this exhibition in the month of April...stay tuned, more information to come!
