It might be 'north of the tower,' but I highly recommend heading to Pawtucket this weekend to visit the artist studios up there!

You'll also be able to find Carl Dimitri in the 560 Building on Mineral Springs. .. He has recently relocated to Pawtucket, and will be displaying his work in conjunction with the festival.

We are so pleased to have Michael Yefko as a new artist member at Hera Gallery. Michael has exhibited at Hera numerous times in the past, and you may remember his work from the recent exhibition, Money . Michaels' sculptures and 2-dimensional works tend to reference concepts of dreams, loss, house, and home; he utilizes the symbol of the house as a stand in for the self and as a means to exercise his anger over the loss of the natural world for the sake of the built suburban spectacle . By incorporating loaded symbolic objects such as a house, Michael stimulates the viewer to have a personal connection to the work that carries such a potent context with it. Michael is also a carpenter, a nd has spent much time in his life working on his own home . Considering his attention to detail, craftsmanship, and in-depth knowledge of carpentry and construction, we are elated that Michaels' membership is a sweat equity one. It will be nice to have a capable and informed member to he...

Altered Landscapes September 3 – October 14, 2010 Corridor Gallery, Fine Arts Center, URI This selection of color photographs is from the ongoing series Altered Landscapes with work dating from 2007 to the present. As a photographer of the landscape Broches explores our culture’s view of nature and the ways in which we occupy and alter our world. She writes: “The landscape as subject is traditionally viewed as picturesque. I approach and photograph the landscape as human construct. We ‘landscape’ and beautify our surroundings, preserve and protect our parks. We intervene and mold it, exploit and attempt to control and harness it, defy it, and neglect it. I value a sense of place, collective and individual memory, and identity in relation to the land. I’m interested in the domestic, private, and the ‘small’. My photographs document and report on ‘our’ sense of place. These images are amusing, ironic, and puzzling; some imply social and political consequences that are of immediate, if ...
