Bobby Kennedy: A Time It Was
Through July 26, 2008
It has been forty years since photojournalist Bill Eppridge was assigned by Life magazine the task of capturing on film images of Bobby Kennedy during his 1968 presidential campaign. There will be over forty of these photographs on display taken just days before and after the assassination.
"Everything I saw and everything I heard, it's still there inside my head, like a slow-motion movie," photojournalist Bill Eppridge has said of that night—June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.”
Exhibit runs through July 26, 2008.
Gary Puckett in Concert July 21
Monday, July 21 ~ 8 p.m.
CTAC's Ross Stoakes Theatre
Gary Puckett and the Union Gap was one of the most successful musical groups of the sixties. Gary's unmistakable signature voice garnered six consecutive gold records and top ten Billboard hits with the following titles:
Young Girl, Woman Woman, Lady Willpower, Over You, This Girl is a Woman Now, Keep The Customer Satisfied, Don't Give in to Him, Home
Gary Puckett has performed on more than thirty network television shows and prime time specials during his career, even adding a command performance for the President and Prince Charles at the White House. The Union Gap disbanded in the seventies. In 1974, "Young Girl" was reissued in England where it received a silver record award for attaining a top five position on the pop charts, several years after its initial release.
Gary continues to tour nationally & internationally, has a new album out now, "Gary Puckett - Live," and has recently released his first ever Chrismas CD, entitled "At Christmas."

Reflections of Superior
Through August 17, 2008
A rotating crew of artists -- Fritz Seegers, Ladislav Hanka, Cynthia Cote, Brent Spink, Mark Spink, Mary Brodbeck, and Phyllis Fredendall -- sailed the Alwihta, a replica of an historic wooden sailboat, around the circumference of Lake Superior from ice-out in June until the storms of October. Sailing in short hops, they chose anchorages based on visual interest rather than convenience.
Their work reflects on the wilderness coastlines, history, and industrial aspects of the Lake.
Reflections of Superior is a contemporary mix of artwork that reflects post-modern sensibilities and spans the richness of traditional media as well as multimedia explorations of cutting-edge technology. The common denominator is the artists' fascination for this unforgiving, yet exquisitely beautiful environment.
