DESCRIPTION:<span style="color: #000000;">Join us for Final Friday as we celebrate the opening of three new exhibitions! </span><span style="color: #000000;">Grab a drink and a hot dog from special guest, Jack's Franks, and have a good time!</span> <a class="btn-secondary" href="https://lawrenceartscenter.org/event/jeff-eaton-hot-dogs-for-breakfast/"><b>Jeff Eaton | Hot Dogs for Breakfast</b></a> <span style="color: #000000;">Borrowing from vintage advertising, carnival aesthetic, and car/tattoo culture, Jeff Eaton, AKA Pride of Gumbo, employs traditional sign painting techniques to make bold and colorful works, while keeping it lighthearted and off-beat. Like the hot dog, this exhibition is a combination of parts and pieces that might be overlooked or discarded on their own, but when refined and exquisitely combined into the sweet casing, the viewer’s experience is nothing short of a fulfilling delight. Working primarily with enamel, the results are straightforward and crisp graphics. With the objective of simply creating something enjoyable to view, <em>Hot Dogs for Breakfast</em> takes the viewer on a tawdry and delectable journey into the Pride of Gumbo. </span> <a class="btn-secondary" href="https://lawrenceartscenter.org/event/anthony-corraro-metamorphic-apertures/"><b>Anthony Corraro | Printmaking Resident | Metamorphic Apertures</b></a> <span style="color: #000000;"><em>Metamorphic Apertures</em> explores the ever-shifting intersections of photography, memory, and the natural world. A combination of screen-printed images and illustrations—rendered in processed, unfixed dust—reflect the fragile boundaries between permanence and impermanence. Vulnerable to change and decay, these prints evolve throughout the exhibition. Periodically, select works will be swept away and remade using the same dust from which they first emerged. By inviting the ephemerality of nature into the gallery space, Anthony aims to cultivate a meditative environment that honors the transient world.</span> <span style="color: #000000;"><a class="btn-secondary" style="color: #000000;" href="https://lawrenceartscenter.org/event/insight-art-talk-anthony-corraro/"><b>INSIGHT Art Talk | June 12, 7 pm </b></a></span> <a class="btn-secondary" href="https://lawrenceartscenter.org/event/vesna-jovanovic-topsy-turvy/"><b>Vesna Jovanovic | Topsy-Turvy</b></a> <span style="color: #000000;"><em>Topsy-Turvy</em> is a new body of work from Vesna Jovanovic in response to stories of French medieval marketplace carnivals, where an emphasis on the human body and grotesque bodily humor—in contrast to the mind, or soul—brought laughter, understanding, and a sense of connection among people who otherwise seemed to have nothing in common. By randomly pouring ink on Yupo (a brand of synthetic paper) and then intervening with markers and paint, Jovanovic takes us on a fleshy journey into a world of reversal rituals, street performances, sparklers, and candy.</span> <em><span style="color: #000000;">Thank you to Lunar Graphix 🌙 for providing gallery vinyl.</span></em>
