uArt Reception

CAMBRIDGE Valley Artisans market in Cambridge will host an opening reception for a new

exhibit in its Small Gallery entitled

“Glass and P a p e r : L a n d s c a p e s and History

Books” from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on

Friday, June 1.The exhibit features the work

of artists Cheryl Gutmaker and Cecily Callahan-Spaulding.

“Landscapes have been a tra-ditional art form for centuries,” said Gutmaker. Recent develop-ments in glass manufacturing have allowed a new type of landscape to be created by fus-ing glass. During the past two years, I have begun to explore the many possibilities available for use in the fused glass land-scape.”

Gutmaker’s landscapes are created entirely from glass, with no paint used in the pro-cess. She creates the illusion of depth by carefully layering tiny bits of glass called frit.

Callahan-Spaulding sees her work of creating new book forms as a “creative history les-son.” “As an artist, I am fasci-nated by books and history,” she

Artist Receptions SALEM Salem Art Works

announces the opening of two new exhibits with a reception from 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday,

June 2. Both exhibi-tions will run

through June 30.

“BioLogical” explores natu-

ral systems and their various

mani- festations in the arts. Organic structures, generative aesthetic progressions and a synthesis of elemental narra-tives run through the exhibit.

“Plastic!” is a counterpoint to the first exhibit. It is a celebra-tion of the artificial, the non-organic, the fabricated. Works feature majestic waterfalls of multi-colored polymers framed by rolling meadows of glisten-ing fiberglass. Totems of Tupperware, bottle capts and plastic dishes spiral toward manufactured heavens.

The artists in this exhibit all work with materials or ideas outside the sustainable or eco-logically driven. It’s a sharp criticism of our gilded synthet-ic culture, with one hand in the recyle bin and the other in the Bugs Bunny cookie jar.

Salem Art Works is located at 19 Cary Lane in Salem. For more information, call 518-854-7674 or email [email protected].

Talent ShowSALEM In celebration of the

10th anniversary of the Salem Courthouse Community Center, the CCC will present its annual

Old Courthouse Talent Show at

7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 2 at the Fort Salem Theater

on East Broadway.

“It’s not a competition, it’s just a good old-fashioned family show,” said Courthouse Executive Director Donna Farringer. “We have both new

talent and returning talent.” Performers include musicians, dancers and singers. This is the eighth annual talent show pre-sented by the CCC.

Some of the popular return-ing performers are tenor Bob Palulis, the Susie Shoes Dancers, and a local barbershop quartet.

The show’s master of ceremo-nies is once again Dr. Dan Garfinkel. “People come just to see him,” said Farringer. “He has such a precious sense of humor.” Dr. Garfinkel also serves as the show’s producer and talent coordinator.

As the show’s reputation for a great evening has grown, attendees now come from far beyond Salem. Each year, the show sells out all 220 seats in the Fort Salem Theater, so Farringer recommends people buy tickets in advance. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for students under age 18. Any remaining tickets will be avail-able at the door, but to reserve, call the CCC at 518-854-7053.
