New work by Marjorie Grigonis and Katherine Kurtz at The Knapp Gallery.

Marjorie Grigonis presents her new mixed media work on found mylar, discarded by an architectural firm. The original drawings were varied and abstract, informing the finished pieces. She has allowed much of the underlying work remain.

Katherine Kurtz shows new paintings which continue an exploration of the process. Layers of paint applied, scratched, and manipulated with scratching tools.

Celebrate Gifts From Mother Earth, an installation by Philadelphia fiber artist Betty Leacraft.

The installation documents her project that brought together community members to share personal stories about folk remedies, raise awareness of shared cultural connections, and create art. Bringing together her interest in traditional gardening with her artistry in textiles, Betty conducted a series of workshops this past spring with members of the community and young students from The Spring School Of The Arts.

The second exhibit in the Art in the Information Age series, Songlines, opens September 4 at Point.B Studio in Port Orford, Oregon. In traditional aboriginal culture, songlines are paths followed by a knowledgeable person (or "creator-spirit") who navigates the land by repeating the words of the song chanting the location of landmarks, waterholes, and other natural phenomena.
