SUMMARY:Artist Reception for "In Pieces"
DESCRIPTION:Afterglow by Lora Brueck\nMeet and greet with artist/photographer Lora Brueck. \nLight refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public. \nArtist’s Bio \nWith almost 30 years of photography behind me\, I have seen and enjoyed many photographic processes from black and white film to digital.  In the early 1990s\, I began using infrared film and hand-coloring my infrared images\, creating and exhibiting series including classic cars and carnival rides. In 1995\, I was introduced to making artists’ books\, individual books which use collage\, photography\, printing and other techniques. This allowed me to use my photography in ways other than matting and framing.  Creating artists books challenged me to sequence images to tell a story\, paying particular attention to form and craftsmanship \nIn moving from film to digital photography\, I began exploring mixed media and collage\, using my own photographic images as points of departure. What I find intriguing about collage is combining images and materials from different sources and contexts to create new pieces with a new meanings. I enjoy the craft aspect of decorating  paper\, using paste and various printing techniques.  I have combined these techniques along with my photography in this show “In Pieces.” \nI have exhibited my work in solo and group shows since the 1980s.  As a member of the Sunday Photography Group\, ARTXII\, the Boston Book Arts\, and f8\, I have participated in collaborative and collective exhibitions in the Worcester area.

SUMMARY:In Pieces – Photographic Works by Lora Brueck
DESCRIPTION:Ships of Galilee by Lora Brueck\n“In Pieces” combines photography and paper crafts to create unique two-dimensional photographic works.  The artworks are made in a grid configuration using individual collaged photographs bordered by unique papers in quilt-like patterns.  The grids are united by theme\, color\, or shape to tell a story.  The paper borders serve as frames both containing and expanding on the grid images. \nIn the world of digital photography\, where it is possible to create hundreds of images in one shooting session\, a single perfect image\, matted and framed\, may not tell the whole story.  The collaged works in this show delve deeper into a site or event to create a totally new work combining shapes and colors of related\, or in some cases\, unrelated subjects.

SUMMARY:Meet Author/Illustrator Ralph Masiello
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Small Business Saturday with a special appearance by author/illustrator Ralph Masiello! Ralph Masiello—affectionately known as ‘The Icky Bug Man’—has illustrated several children’s books including The Icky Bug Alphabet Book\, The Yucky Reptile Alphabet Book\, and The Flag We Love. \nIn 2004\, Ralph’s first book as both author and illustrator was released–Ralph Masiello’s Bug Drawing Book. With his signature humor and simple instructions anyone can learn to draw. His latest book\, Ralph Masiello’s Alien Drawing Book\, was released in October 2019 by Charlesbridge Press. \nA graduate of Rhode Island School of Design\, Ralph has produced numerous works of fine art for galleries in addition to picture book illustrations and magazine covers for Omni and Tennis. He is twice the recipient of the Society of Illustrators Certificate of Merit. But it is his visits with school children that give him the most satisfaction. “Adults are very subdued. They say\, ‘Isn’t that lovely?’ But children will go\, ‘That’s so cool\, dude!’ That’s better than any award.” Along with discussing the technical aspects of book making\, Ralph tells his audience about his own education\, stressing reading and library skills as they relate to the research and development of an accurately illustrated book. Audience participation and spontaneity is highly emphasized and always leads to boisterous\, but stimulating and educational\, fun for kids. For years\, children have benefited from visits from ‘The Icky Bug Man.’ \nRalph is the father of two daughters and lives in Thompson\, CT.

Her books\, ‘The Uninvited Guest’\, ‘Where There’s Smoke\, There’s Trouble’\, and ‘Bed\, Breakfast\, & Blackmail’ are set in a fictitious version of Norton\, MA that has been moved to the coast and renamed Harbor Falls.

A ghost or two along the way deepens the mysteries. \nAbout the author: Debi was born in mid-state Delaware\, graduating from J.B. Moore High School in Smyrna. After attending the University of Delaware for one year\, she moved to New England\, later earning her degree in business/marketing at Bryant University.

She lives with her husband in southeastern Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Author event with Marie LeClaire
DESCRIPTION:Come meet and chat with writer Marie LeClaire! She will be signing and discussing her two companion books\, The Last Yard Sale\, which grew out of a short story she wrote as a spiritual exercise in letting go of that which no longer serves us\, and A Soldier’s Last Mission\, about a mysterious yard sale that sends a Vietnam vet on a mission to save the life of an Afghanistan soldier. This is a free event and books will be available for signing & purchase. \nMarie LeClaire has spent the past thirty years as a mental health counselor encouraging others to look beyond our sometimes limited perspective and see a bigger picture of what influences our lives and guides our behavior. She has been writing novels and short stories for the past five years. She still does a little counseling part time but her love now is purely fiction – sort of. After all\, art imitates life\, doesn’t it? Wandering around much of her adult life\, she has come full circle and calls Worcester\, Massachusetts\, home.

SUMMARY:Gargoyles and Graveyards: B&W Photography Exhibit by Paul Szlosek
DESCRIPTION:Stop by October 1st-31st to view the black & white photography of poet and artist Paul Szlosek. \nA meet the artist reception including an open mic poetry reading will take place on Saturday\, October 26th from 1-4 p.m. For more information call 508-949-6232. \nPaul Szlosek is an artist\, magician\, poet\, blogger\, and photographer born in Southbridge\, Massachusetts\, but currently residing in Worcester. He was a founder and host of the popular Poet’s Parlor poetry venue for over 13 years\, and has recently started a brand new open mic and featured poet reading series (with Ron Whittle) in Southbridge called The Poetorium at Starlite. His daily photo blog can be viewed HERE. \nArtist’s Statement: Since I first took a photograph of a cement bulldog with wings dripping a steady stream of water from his jaws along the roadside in Sturbridge in 2013\, I have become fascinated with this strange parallel world of fantastical creatures that exists along side ours\, but we seldom notice: gargoyles lurking in our architecture\, marble angels weeping in our cemeteries\, and fairies frolicking on our front lawns. With my digital camera\, I have sought to capture these strange and striking statuary throughout New England\, and share them with the rest of the globe on my daily photo blog Gargoyles and Grotesques :Don’t Look Up! Something May Be Watching You…\, posting over 2000 such images there through the years. Although the digital images are originally in color\, I have made the artistic choice of draining them of all hue\, feeling B&W is the perfect medium for the subject matter. To misquote a popular Paul Simon song\, monochrome “makes you think all the world’s a gloomy day” and  everything looks weirder in black and white.” This exhibit “Gargoyles and Graveyards” is just a small sampling of these photographs\, but I hope they will be your portal into this eerie yet tender otherworldly universe.

SUMMARY:Acoustic Musician Cameron Sutphin

Donations will be accepted. \nLike Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger before him\, Cameron Sutphin has been traveling around the United States performing classic country and folk music wherever he stops\, as a solo acoustic artist.
