In his exhibition, Flight of Obscurity, Nathaniel Foley communicates concepts rooted in aviation history through a visual language that references both travel and warfare. With hand fabricated sculptures in an immersive installation, Foley’s work communicates tension between grace and imminent danger. Mina Kim’s work blends drawing and sculpture using a meditative practice of bending and binding materials together. Echoing rhythms that reference Eastern thought where repeated action trains both body and spirit, Kim’s work moves between two and three dimensions. Their installations use everyday materials like twist ties and wire, and then shift into paintings and drawings, dissolving boundaries between technology and tradition. Gallery is open during regular operating hours of Rosewood Arts Center.

Bring the whole family for a fun-filled afternoon of hands-on kids’ art activities, live performances and much more. This year’s theme is Medieval, so costumes and creative dress-up are highly encouraged! Parking is available at Southdale Elementary School.

Discussion of The Blue Hour by Paula Hawkins

The goal of this exhibition is to showcase fine art works exploring invisible realities of the Divine Creator’s imagination of beauty, truth and goodness. A few Dayton area artists participated in a similar show in Cincinnati last year, put on by the Angelico Project, and thought Dayton could benefit from such an event.
Gallery open:
Friday Feb. 2nd, 5-9pm
Saturday Feb. 3rd, 11am-4 pm
Sunday Feb. 18th, 11am-4pm
Refreshments served at closing Sunday Feb. 18th

The Front Street Gallery proudly presents the work of Jeffrey Rutledge. Simplicity, cleanliness of line, juxtaposition of incongruous elements, and a certain air of whimsy are hallmarks of Jeffrey's sculpture whether it occurs in an abstract or organic form. For these reasons his art has been highly favored by architects, interior designers and planners who seek to discover an unusual or inspiring piece of art which enhances and completes a contemporary space. Jeffrey welcomes you for conversation and a look at some of his newest work during the opening reception.
