Walk of art

·

The John Waldron Arts Center was a lively place last Friday evening, when the July exhibits in the Rosemary P. Miller and Flashlight Galleries opened. People of all ages wandered through the exhibits examining wall sculptures and paintings, and peering through artist Jerry Farnsworth’s kaleidoscopes. Gallery walk participants talked with artists and among themselves about the works on display. Peter Lawrence picked up a kaleidoscope and looked through it at his own painting, “Fiorra”. Jerry Farnsworth demonstrated how to use one of his more complex kaleidoscopes to a small group of people, holding it in front of each person’s eyes so they could peer through, telling them, “Thanks for looking.” The opening featured art Farnsworth, James B. Campbell, Peter Lawrence and Monique Cagle. The gallery runs through July 27.

For a band that has been together more than six years and played more than 700 shows, Railroad Earth’s musical philosophy is simple: “It’s really just about the music. If people are there to hear it, it’s just extra,” Tim Carbone, the band’s violinist, said.
