Open book

Singer/songwriters Michele Rubin and Rick Gedney perform live at the Pine Hill Community Center. A mixture of folk inflected styles with tunes that concern themselves with love and loss, their music crosses into the urban landscape as easily as it inhabits and embraces it's rural roots. The duo's harmonies are sublime and not to be missed.

OUT OF SHAPE
 
Out of bounds, out of thin air, out of context, out of hand, out of left field, out of nowhere, out of reach, out of whack..... Where does art come from? How does it take "SHAPE"? Husband and wife artists, Bob Madden, stone sculptor and Karen Madden, fiber artist, address the idea of art out of shape in their respective mediums.
