Covering Ground
Sunday April 22
5:00 - 8:00 pm



A public exhibition focused on one group’s “environmental graffiti” efforts. Instead of placing messages around town, these artists planted flowers in vacant lots and unused spaces throughout the city. It’s an ongoing project, but the effects of this experience will be presented in this exhibition. For more details, visit www.projectcoveringground.blogspot.com

Collective Playground
Sunday April 22
5:00 - 8:00 pm



A multi-media installation that explores childhood memory as fable through the juxtaposition of organic and inorganic materials; the shared experiences of the artists and the metaphors of the collective life cycle. It is designed to provoke a confrontation of the distortion of one’s own memories through time, subjective perspectives, and emotional attachments.
