Robert Murphy: All These Years - Eight Portfolios 1993-2011
Opening Reception: Friday April 29th 7:00-10:00pm
On Exhibit Second Floor Galleries April 29th thru June 17
Traditionally, photographs are thought of as mechanisms, which we use to capture or make visible a moment in time, creating a moment in an experience that becomes static and a marker of that experience allowing the viewer to travel into the experience.
The really great photographs transcend the moment captured and evoke a response that allows any of us the possibility to glimpse some insight into the mysteries that life holds. Robert Murphy’s intention as a photographer is to make visible those aspects of our multi-faceted lives that include some of the mysteries that are often hidden to our eyes.
Like other artists, these eight portfolios of work reflect an offering made to invite the viewer to explore the complexities of reality, not simply as he might understand that, but as it speaks to the viewer, challenging and informing how one might understand that.
Dr. André Bruwer: SkiaGraphs - The Art of Nature in X-Rays
Opening Reception: Friday April 29th 7:00-10:00pm
On Exhibit Main Floor Gallery April 29th thru June 17
Over five decades, Dr. Andre Bruwer’s passionate pursuit of X-ray art resulted in this stunning collection of images showcasing the unseen delicacy of the natural world.
Bruwer called his X-ray images SkiaGraphs, the words skia and graph coming from the Greek words for “shadow drawing”.
Dr. Andre Bruwer died September 29, 2008. He left his collection of SkiaGraphic image copyrights to his daughter who has taken and reproduced these beautiful images and made available the opportunity to see this fascinating work by this pioneer and master artist.

In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre (HOBT) seeks teaching artists who wish to engage in a training program that can result in them being added to HOBT’s Roster of Teaching Artists – artists able to lead field trips at the Theatre and puppetry residencies in schools and communities.

However the intention is for the Theatre to expand its Roster of Teaching Artists through this program.

* In the late winter or spring of 2010, artists in the training program will shadow HOBT’s Education Director as s/he leads both a field trip and a full-week puppetry residency. Both of these job-shadow experiences will include follow-up training sessions.
* If the applicant is then accepted as an HOBT Rostered Teaching Artist, s/he will attend a yearly training workshop of approximately 6 hours at HOBT.
