Literature and art come together in the creation of several large scale wood block prints.

The results of this unique collaboration will be displayed in the Gloria Singletary Gallery. Student artists include: Abby Adams, Daniel Balko, Charlotte Eckmann, Dara Golding , Rory Hefner-Templar, Carmen-Maria von Unrug, Garath Walker, and Sarah Witherington. Joel Feldman is an artist who currently resides in Lexington. He is known for his use of fables and folk tales as source material for the imagery of his woodcut prints. Feldman has been involved in numerous exhibits and residencies around the globe, his most recent taking place in Achill Island, Ireland, and Beijing, China.

Animal Facts, Fairy Tales, and Fictions

April 16 – May 25
Gallery Hop Opening—Friday, April 20, 5 – 8 pm

Animals are frequent subjects in our stories and Fairy Tales. Alice in Wonderland, Where the Wild Things Are, and The Cat in the Hat represent but a few of the rich history of animals represented literature. Findings of animals in mythologies and folktales from around the world are endless. These animals awaken our creative spirit and feed our imagination. Their unique characteristics such as horns, tails, feathers, and scales, provide endless inspiration to artists whether depicting animals in their truest forms or in more imaginative representations. We relate to their characteristics, such as speed, strength, agility, and their keen sense of perception. As we associate with their characteristics and combine them, new animals are imagined like dragons, unicorns, harpies, and griffins. This exhibit explores the use of animals as inspiration and the artists’ process of drawing from stories of the past while creating new stories as well.

Music by selected students from the SCAPA Band will perform throughout Gallery Hop.
