To Be Real: Portaits by Shona Curtis
Through stunningly intimate portraits,
photographer Shona Curtis illustrates how portraiture is not about the
subject or the photographer, but the alchemy of the relationship between
the two.
"To Be Real", an exhibit of film and digital photography,
exposes what lies behind our masks when we feel safe enough to reveal
it—a shared humanity—
and demonstrates the fragility, beauty and perils
of being human.
"To Be Real: Portaits by Shona Curtis" will have its opening reception on January 27 at 6 p.m. in the Charter Oak Gallery. The show runs through February. For more information, call 860-310-2580.

CONTOURS & CONFIGURATIONS
January 28th - March 11th
In
our 4th season we are exploring the connection between art and science,
searching for the exact spot where the two collide. While often seen in
opposition, together they can create a unified message.
Contours
& Configurations mixes the self, machines, structure, and patterns
with art in an effort to explain the workings of our inner self and our
universe.

New Haven Review Subscription Party
Friday, February 3 at 7 PM - 9 PM
by The New Haven Review + The Institute Library
Each winter, The New Haven Review throws a shin-dig at the Institute
Library on a cold, dark night to celebrate the publication of our winter
issue. We like to think of it as a reason to come together, to rub
elbows with local literati, and share a drink, and generally to delight
in the fact that everyone can support two local institutions that do so
much for the literary quotient of this town: the New Haven Review and
the Institute library. We'll see you there!
Four kinds of tickets are available:
$10, Get the latest issue of the New Haven Review at the door.
$20, Includes a year-long subscription to the New Haven Review or
$25, Includes annual Apprentice membership (or renewal) to the Institute Library
OR
$40, Includes both a year-long subscription to the New Haven Review and an annual Library Apprentice membership
This event sells out quickly, so please buy your tickets online here or in-person at the library today.

Artist Opps:
The 2016 political campaign season was incredibly stressful and contentious. It divided families, distanced friends, and challenged our perceptions of the country at large. The subsequent election of Donald J. Trump as the nation's 45th President has deepened the divide among citizens and residents of the country. This exhibition, inDIVISIBLE, will explore themes of democracy and the American electoral system. We are looking for works that are reflective of your thoughts, experiences, and reactions to the political events of the past ten months and the impact these events have had on you personally, professionally, socially, philosophically, and/or culturally.
All local, regional, and national artists are welcome to apply. Call deadline is Friday, February 3 at 11:59pm. Submission fee is $30 for 3 entries; $5 for each entry thereafter. inDIVISIBLE will be on view at the Eclipse Mill Gallery March 10 - May 14, 2017.
