Indiana Artists Series: Portraits by Tom Casalini
January 30th, 2011 – March 27th, 2011
We visit museums, admire the beauty of or the concept behind a piece of artwork, and catch glimpses of the shadowy figures of the artist behind the work. But who are they really? In an attempt to answer this question, photographic portrait artist Tom Casalini of Zionsville, Indiana has conceived a project called the Indiana Artists Series in which he has selected a group of Indiana artists to photograph. In this exhibit, a work created and selected by the artist will be shown alongside their portrait taken by Tom Casalini, giving us a window into the world in which that artist lives and creates.

The Great Americans: Works by Jac Lahav
August 21, 2011 - October 2, 2011
The Great Americans combine the American heroic, pop culture and history painting. The series, created by Jac Lahav, references a 2005 Discovery Channel show titled, “The Greatest American”. The show asked America to vote for the greatest American. Subsequently, Oprah Winfrey was voted into the top 10 greatest Americans knocking out Jonas Salk. In a culture where a talk show host outranks the scientist who cured polio, one must question if greatness is dictated by celebrity and image consumption. Born in Jerusalem, Israel, Jac Lahav currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
