May 10 -August 17, 2008
Exhibit Opening: Saturday, May 10, 2-4 p.m.

A rotating crew of artists -- Fritz Seegers, Ladislav Hanka, Cynthia Cote, Brent Spink, Scott Spint, Mark Spink, Mary Brodbeck -- 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.

April 18 - July 26, 2008
Topic: Visual Arts

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.
