in group shows with the Greater Lafayette Clay Guild, and other LaLa Studio

Art Museum of Greater Lafayette
Wild Things by Michel Keck and Linda Mitchell is showing now until September 7th in the Mcdonald Gallery.
This exciting exhibition features fantasy artwork by Michel
Keck and Linda Mitchell. Museum
Curator, Michael Crowthers has invited the artists and will help create a very unique atmosphere in the museum. Each
artist’s works evoke images from an imaginative and surreal world. These works are both visually stimulating and
extremely well executed. Wild Things
will entice families and art lovers alike by creating another world for viewers
to step into at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette. Animals of all shapes, sizes, and color will
be installed and many summer family programs are being planned to attract even
larger attendance. Your sponsorship will
be recognized by many members of the community.
Please join us in discovering all of the wild things that inhabit the
galleries.
Natural Disaster Color by Petronio Bendito is showing now until September 7th in the Mcdonald Gallery.
For the past ten years Petronio Bendito has focused on the
examination of color. For this series of
mid and large-scale prints he conducted color studies in which he devised color
schemes based on natural disasters such as the Haiti earthquake, landslides in
Brazil and the tsunami in Japan. The
works function as an interface that acknowledges the fragility of humankind and
honors humanity in a subliminal way.
Hope, remembrance, and resilience emerge as Mr. Bendito transposes
depictions of chaos and despair into patterns of order and beauty. Petronio is an Associate Professor of Art and
Design in the Purdue University Department of Visual and Performing Arts.
Art Smart: New Vistas is showing now until December 28th.
ArtSmart: New Vistas is meant to promote critical thinking
and foster the concepts of connoisseurship and esthetic discovery. The audience is provided with the opportunity
not only to view original works of art, but also to compare and contrast each
pair of works. The exhibit presents
images of Indiana's past, its enduring beauty, creative artists and sense of
cultural aesthetic. In addition, the
technical properties of different art media can be compared.
