We’re looking forward to a transformation of our Main Gallery in October. Amanda Thatch and Andrew Thompson have been given free rein to work their magic on the gallery, with an exhibit they call Accumulation. Andrew and Amanda share living and studio space, and are both interested in works that use various media to examine the character of whatever space they’re occupying. Look for explorations of fabric architecture, secret cubby holes, and inventive use of recycled materials. The show runs from October 3 through November 8, with a reception for the artists on Friday, October 10 from 7 – 9 pm.
Come back for a hands-on family workshop the following Saturday, October 11. Andrew and Amanda will show visitors some methods for turning recycled materials into sculptural objects. This workshop is suitable for young kids with help from their parents, older kids and adults.

Opening Reception Friday, October 10, 7 - 9 pm
Hands-on Family Workshop
Saturday, October 18, 12 - 2 pm
For the month of October, Tom Carey will be haunting our First Floor Gallery with a collection of spooky prints made especially for the Halloween season. Carey says of his work, “My work is figurative: Hieratic, Apocalyptic Monsters and Mermaids, Angels and Demons. Formed from the scrap heap of twenty first century life, (tape hiss, prog rock album covers, exploitation film posters, third rate comic books with bad color separations, hand painted signs for hub-cap shops, air brushed portraits of the dead on black denim jackets, hair on the film projector’s lens.) sifted through the sands of my conscious and unconscious mind. I am trying to discover the mythic figures of the new millenium, or uncover atavistic old gods like Cthulu and Quetzalcoatl.
Join us for a reception with Tom and his gang of spooks and spirits on Friday, October 10 from 7 – 9 pm. Come back for a hands-on family workshop on Saturday, October 18, 12 - 2 pm. Tom will lead visitors in making simple monster masks and shadow puppets. This workshop is suitable for young children with parental supervision, older kids and adults.
