SUMMARY:Twigs & Tomatoes
DESCRIPTION:Come see the latest art collection of Amanda Weygand Zehr at Open Space Art Gallery & Studios during the July Ottawa’s Third Friday Artisan Market! This is a free event – appetizers and refreshments provided. \nARTIST STATEMENT This series of work is an experimentation. A playful combination of materials\, textures and colors. All inspired by the land surrounding me. Created with materials I’ve used before. Created with materials I’ve never used. \nCapturing the feeling of of being among the garden\, watching the seeds turn to plants\, turn to flowers\, turn to fruit. \nCapturing the colors of the first ripe tomato\, the grapes on the vine\, the flesh of a peach. \nExplore the beauty around you. \n

SUMMARY:Chicago Maritime Museum 3rd Friday Lecture - Writing with Maps: Emily Barton Altman
DESCRIPTION:Join CMM as Emily Barton Altman discusses Lake Michigan bathymetric map poetry. Altman will read her work and then trace the map and score-based practices that inform her writing. Beginning with 20th century avant-garde practices and ending with contemporary work\, Altman will show how writers and artists of the 20th and 21st centuries used maps in their poetry to interrogate space\, politics\, and everyday life. \nEmily Barton Altman is the author of two chapbooks\, Bathymetry (Present Tense Pamphlets\, 2016)\, and Alice Hangs Her Map (dancing girl press\, 2019). Recent poems appear in The Spectacle\, Bone Bouquet\, Quarterly West\, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA in Poetry from NYU and a PhD in creative writing from the University of Denver. In the fall she will begin teaching at Michigan State University. \nIn conjunction with the Bridgeport Art Center’s Third Friday Open House\, the Chicago Maritime Museum opens its doors for lively presentations on maritime history and current events each month. Come early and explore the Bridgeport Art Center’s many art galleries. Join us on Friday\, July 19 at 7:00 p.m. either in person or virtually. \nThe special pricing is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.
