Storytelling in Miniature: Works on Paper

Works on Paper Galleries Miniature engravings and prints from the Renaissance through the modern and contemporary eras from the Toledo Museum of Art collection are featured in this companion exhibition to Small Worlds.
Several 16th century printmakers specialized in producing very small engravings—so small in fact that a magnifying glass is required to appreciate them fully. Georg Pencz, Heinrich Aldegrever, Albrecht Altdorfer and Hans Sebald Beham rendered densely detailed images of mythological and Old Testament stories. Also featured are smaller works on paper by Albrecht Durer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Charles Meryon and others. Admission is free.

As its name suggests, Small Worlds, which opens November 18 at the Toledo Museum of Art, brings together intricate, charming, disquieting, and thoughtful works of art on the smallest of scales. Each of the engaging works creates an intimate space or environment and shows scenes which are familiar but perhaps slightly askew.

Five contemporary artists offer more than 40 small worlds rendered as relief paintings, sculptures, drawings, and photographs. There also are video and art installations, a fully functional 65 square foot house, and objects created specifically for this show that, in some cases, incorporate facets of the Toledo Museum of Art and its environs.

Tuesday–Thursday 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Friday 10 a.m.–10 p.m.
Saturday 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
Sunday Noon–6 p.m.

Closed Mondays, New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day

I'm talking about the Center for the Visual Arts, which lays adjacent to the Toledo Museum of Art, and houses the CVA Galleries, hosting numerous exhibits and events intended for the Department of Art, the University public, and the surrounding community. The space at TMA is the art department's long-time home, and offers a unique venue for students and staff to show off their talents.

'The mission of the art gallery program at the University of Toledo is to present innovative exhibitions that compliment the Department of Art's academic offerings; provide a viable resource for gallery practices training; engage the surrounding community; and fill a unique niche in the Greater Toledo area as a venue for exhibitions that enhance the reputation of the University of Toledo Department of Art and the College of Visual and Performing Arts,' said CVA Gallery Director Ben Pond.

CVA welcomes in a new year with a three-part event titled 'Project Space 2012,' running January 9-February 12. As the name suggests, 'Project Space' isn't the typical gallery show, and gives viewers the sense of looking in upon the artists' studio, offering a sneak peek at works in progress. The event features two exhibits and a play.

'The idea behind 'Project Space' was to open the gallery to experimental, in-progress or unique projects, to use the gallery in an untraditional way, less formal, more as a laboratory to try things out,' Pond said.

'Project Space' kicks off with a photography exhibit from the class of Sedar Burns. Millennials: A Portrait of Generation Next (Jan.9-Feb. 5) seeks to identify and explore the characteristics of Generation Y: people ranging from ages 18 to 29. Student photographers practiced their craft to explore facets of personal and generation identity, including sexuality, technology, and the morality and mentality of the Millennial Generation. An Artists' Reception will be held on Friday, January 13 from 6-8 p.m.

'Humane

The weather outside may be chilly, but for Humane Ohio, a non-profit organization that operates a low-cost spay/neuter clinic and pet food bank, spring and kitten season are just around the corner.
The group has planned a 'Beat the Heat' promotion and will spay female cats during the month of February for the special rate of $20 in an effort to prevent unwanted litters before kitten season. This special rate for female cats is even less than the organization's normal low-cost price and applies to all residents of Lucas County and Wood County (must provide proof of residency).
Cat owners who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the 'Beat the Heat' promotion when they call to schedule their appointment. The promotion is based on availability.
'Our annual 'Beat the Heat' promotion is fun, and it's a win-win. Every spring, local animal shelters and rescue groups are flooded with thousands of kittens,' said Jill Borkowski, Humane Ohio Marketing Director. 'We can help these organizations by preventing unwanted kittens from being born, and we can help people with female cats by offering a really special rate to spay their cat.'
'Female cats can have as many as three litters a year, and kittens can breed as young as four months old. It's our goal to eliminate pet overpopulation in our community by offering high-quality, affordable spay/neuter, and our 'Beat the Heat' promotion is a fun way to reach out to the community and prevent unwanted litters.'

The public is invited to join us for a reception for the exhibition on Friday, February 3 from 6 to 8 pm.

The artists in this exhibition are united in a conceptual approach to art making.

Alyssa Brown uses photography as a documenting tool to explore how identity is created in one's personal space and attire. She represents the memories that are attached to a single piece of clothing. This series pairs a journalistic photograph with a written statement recording a personal reflection from the subject of the photograph. Alyssa is pursuing her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with concentration in New Media at the University of Toledo.

Another University of Toledo artist, Julia La Bay, uses casts of her own body to represent the raw emotion of specific life altering decisions. She captures the struggles that any woman may go through from relationships to abuse to motherhood. Julia is completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree concentrating in Sculpture with a minor in Printmaking.

The artwork of Antoinette LaValley, M.D. reflects upon life of the individual and family through their bones. She connects the transformation of bones during life to the impact left on the bones at death. Dr. LaValley has worked as a diagnostic neuroradiologist since 1990.

Last, but certainly not least, the installation of Michael Yager provokes curiosity. He encourages the viewer to interact with his so-named space coconuts. Interaction elicits light and sound responses from this interactive installation. Michael currently teaches as adjunct faculty at Owens Community College.

The Parkwood Gallery is open Monday thru Friday 8:30 am – 4:30pm and is located at 1838 Parkwood Avenue, Suite 120 off of Monroe Street in Downtown Toledo.

The Arts Commission is the longest standing arts commission in the state of Ohio that develops and promotes the arts in the community, serving Northwest Ohio since 1959. www.theartscommission.org. 419-254-ARTS
