Voice to Vision Gallery Opening & Talk
Thursday, 2/16/2012 6:30 PM-8:30 PM
Traina Center for the Arts, Schiltkamp Gallery
Exhibition opening and gallery talk with Holocaust survivor Fred Amram. The Voice to Vision collaborative project captures the extraordinary experiences of genocide survivors from different parts of the world. The Stories of the survivors are first shared through dialogue, and then transformed into works of visual art that display sculpture, painting, drawing, collage, and mixed media. Each art piece has been created through collaboration with a team of artists and genocide survivors. As the survivors share their experiences, members of the collaborative team exchange ideas and make creative decisions together to produce a work of art that reflects the convergence of each voice involved in the project.

POOTER MCGRAW IS NOT DEAD PARTY
Padraic Lillis
Six friends from college reunite because of the sudden death of a friend. Only three years out of school, the loss causes them to question their friendships, and if it possible to hold onto what they wanted when they were in school. And at the pace things move in our world today—does what we do at twenty-five determine what we’ll be the rest of our lives?
