Fall into Art

Parkade Center presents "Fall into Art," a festival celebrating tradition and art in our community. In the '70s, Parkade had its first art show. Fall back and remember with flashes of the past and memories on the wall. Flash forward to 2010 when artists will again be lining the hallways. Lining the walls of the center will be past and present. Be in the present surrounded by the history and tradition at the Parkade Center. Truly a treasure in the box of this community. Welcome fall by planning to attend "Fall Into Art" at the Parkade Center, Sept 18 - 19, 2010.

Over 30 artists and craftsmen exhibiting in a variety of mediums!

Demonstrations and Children's Art Activities!

Hours
Saturday, September 18, 10am - 5pm
Sunday, September 19, 10am - 4pm

For more information, see the Parkade Center's website.

CAL Among Symposium Sponsors/Patrons

The Sixth Annual MU Life Sciences and Society Symposium takes place March 2010. CAL takes its place among the symposium's sponors and patrons.

From Art to Biology and Back Again will examine provocative new work arising from intersections between the life sciences and art - the biological contexts of our response to art and aesthetic contexts of our response to scientific visualizations, as well as twenty-first century art that has found inspiration at their convergence. In the process, the talks will inquire into the relationship between artistic and scientific invention. The symposium is free and open to the public. more >>
