Memories In Books and
Stories On Walls:
Storybooks and Children's Wall Art
Artist: Sushmita Mazumdar
October 11 - Nov 10, 2008
A Woman's Story Gallery
at Fair Lakes Whole Foods Market
Haathi, 20x20, Collage, $250
Sush Mazumdar
After attending a recent seminar in NY, Sush realized the enormous potential of story excerpts and was determined to take her books onto walls through collages. Her art is inspired by the text and covers of her stories, and are framed in sturdy shadow boxes ready-to-hang. When you turn the lights off in your kids' bedroom, the collages will still intrigue them letting their imagination and curiosity take flight...!

THE ROMANCE OF DANCE
Thursday, November 6, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Harold and Sylvia Greenberg Theater
Tickets: $35/person
Available at 202-885-2587
Photography by Tony Powell
This year's program - "The Romance of Dance" - features Edwin Aparicio, Jonathan Jordan and Lesole Maine. Each artist will perform two short pieces expressing their sense of romance in movement. For the finale they will blend those expressions in a group improvisation.
All three dancers come from distinctly different traditions, but all are known nationally and internationally for having put their own stamp on the art form. George Jackson, dance critic and historian, will serve as moderator for this program.
Tickets are on sale at the Harold and Sylvia Greenberg Theater, 4200 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016-2138. All seats are $35.00 and can be obtained by calling: 202-885-2587.
This program is jointly produced by Meera Wolfe & Jonathan Willen.
