PARCHMENT TO PAGES
August 23 – October 18, 2012
An exhibit featuring work by Susan Armington (MN), Lynne Avadenka (MI) and showcasing books from the private collection of Harold and Mickey Smith (MN).
This exhibit offers a unique opportunity to view the rare collection of Hebrew prayer books printed in notable presses all over the world. Dating back to the 1700's, these books carry the distinguished markings of their times and travels, reflecting the political and cultural events of their era.
This exhibit will also feature contemporary artist books by Michigan based artist, Lynne Avadenka. Her pristine, yet thoughtful, work combines an integration of text and image and original bindings with multiple printmaking techniques.
The meticulously crafted map-paintings by local artist, Susan Armington will also be on display. Her text based work incorporates an array of languages to compose her geographical compositions. One work in particular, Jerusalem Stone, is composed words and stories in the various languages that Israel is founded on.

FLIGHTS OF FANCY
Work by Jeffrey Pilcher
September 6 – October 25, 2012
Color, shape, and texture are all tools that local artist Jeffrey Pilcher uses to give his featured work, Flights of Fancy, strong emotional impact. Pilcher states, "The art I make expresses the contents of my imagination. I approach each canvas with no idea of what the finished product will look like. The flight of fancy is the process that occurs from when I first start a canvas to the moment when I decide a work is done."
