A NEW CENTURY OF WAR
The United States entered World War I in April of 1917. Called at the time the Great War, or the War to End All Wars, World War I did nothing so much as provide a template for killing on an industrial scale, mindless nationalism, and suppression of dissent. Selected artworks examine that Century--1917 - 2017--and its continuing impacts, whether political, martial, social, or environmental. Co-curated by Walt Nygard and Dennis Murray.

MYTHS & MARKS: Archetypes throughout the Ages

PictureOf Another Time, by Margaret Kennard Johnson
Saturday, July 31 through October 9, 2010

Artist Sally Spofford, the juror for this exhibition, feels that our culture seems cut off from its past without myths or heroes. Her fascination with history and other cultures has taken her on a search for beginnings, essences, and links to contemporary culture. MYTHS & MARKS features works that respond to these ideas and universal questions such as, who are we and how did we get here?
