NOTHING IS MISSING by Janice Wardle

Come check out Wardle's work Nothing is Missing until November 23, 2015. The artist describes this work as "a nod towards the uncertainty and doubt that often accompanies the human creative process. Letters laser-cut from canvas serve as a reminder that even the absence of an idea can itself assume form, and leave its own residue."

Closing Reception for 'Stripped' by C. Gauthier on Wednesday February 15th

Because we confused you all with an opening on a Tuesday, we decided to have a closing reception for Cindy Gauthier's exhibition, 'Stripped', on the traditional Wednesday afternoon around 4pm! (Specifically 4:30pm - it should last until 6:30pm, but we'll see if there's cake left until 7pm).

The reception will take place on Wednesday February 15th. The exhibiton won't be closed quite yet, but we wanted to fit in a reception before Reading Week.

Cindy has some pretty neat cakes up her sleeve...she likes to bake, and she's going to make two, actual 3D skull cakes! Come on down to Level 8 in front of the gallery, Locker #W138, for a sweet treat and some good times! We'll make sure we have beverages, too.
