Life that Glows

October 25, 2019, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM @ Long Bridge Park

Various plants, invertebrates, mushrooms and more glow in different dazzling colors at night. Observations from these walks can help us to understand why certain organisms glow and reveal possible adaptive advantages. Each time we go out on these walks, we could observe something new to science! Led by Park Naturalist Jen Bulava. Due to limited supplies, registration is mandatory. Register online. Series will continue in the spring.

WILLIAM KNIGHT, ONE ARTIST: THREE MEDIA

October 17, 2019 - December 1, 2019 @ Worker's House and Gallery

William has worked in oils, pastel, charcoal, watercolor and printmaking for fifteen years before spending a decade hypnotized by encaustic paint–an ancient Greek process using beeswax, damar varnish and pigment. In addition to Knight’s encaustic works, will be works in pastel and in art glass.  The pastel pieces, on hand-made paper, were painted in an olive grove planted around 1600 in Assisi, Italy.  The ancient, gnarled trees are an arresting sight.  Other pastels were made on extended visits to Venice, Paris, and Bermuda. Art glass, the third medium in this solo exhibition, makes strong use of mouth-blown glass with its unique patterns and swirling colors created in the mouth-blowing process.
