'nest:egg'-stone, steel & shadow-Barbara De Pirro

"Of Clocks and Crows"take flight!

Sept. 3 - Oct. 20, 2009

Opening Reception:
Sept. 3rd, 5-8pm

Time to take wing at the Arts Council with this thematic exhibit. Over fifty participating artists, working in a wide variety of mediums, let their imaginations fly to the muse of the clock and the crow.

The exhibit will open with a “Meet the Artists” reception on Thursday, September 3rd. Paul Ninehouse, maker and player of Native American flutes, will perform from 5-8pm opening night. Ninehouse has made and played his flutes for 15 years. His flutes have a distinctive style which follow the Lakota spiritual way. His songs are improvisational using the spirit of the moment and place in which he is playing.
