August
- 17th-September 16th – “Into the Garden – Recent Paintings by Christine Klinger” – Gardens – both plant and water – the artist portrays them intuitively with a variety of materials on a variety of surfaces. “Swimming between impressionism and expressionism, I revel in the spontaneity of the moment. I choose a subject – generally Nature-oriented – and using only basic reference materials I explore it by painting what I feel, hoping to get closer to the source.”
- 17th 6-9pm – Opening Reception

At each stop there will be a short talk while you find your spot and then 15 minutes to sketch the art. We will end at the YS Brewery for conversation, a brew and sharing our sketch books. • $10.00 donation suggested to help support the Arts Council. Or better yet join instead!
- 21st-October 14th – “Stronger in the Broken Places” – Art by Deborah Dixon – Stronger in the Broken places is a visual representation in etchings, silk screens prints and writings by Yellow Springs area artist Deborah Dixon on healing.
- A number of years ago, she became fascinated with the Japanese art of Kintsuge (which is the repairing of broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powered gold), repairs resulting from this process often made the object more unique, beautiful and valuable. Deborah’s works for this solo exhibition are visual musings on the philosophy of Kintsugi as applied to her life’s journey towards greater wellness.
