My Whole Life

Thirty paintings from the pages of Ryan B. Richey
February 14-28, 2009
Opening: Friday, February 20th 6p.m. - 9p.m.


Richey's words capture flashes from his experience quicker than visuals. At the heart of his practice, they spring from the page and have manifested into his latest ongoing projects - his painting series, My Whole Life, and his music collaboration, Hannis Pannis.

Opening night will feature readings from the text and a performance by Hannis Pannis.

Closing Event Friday, February 27th 6-9p.m.: Readings and performances by Diego Leclery, Charles Mahafee, Karolina Gnatowski, Amira Hanafi, Kevin Fink, Lane Williams, Eric Lebofsky, Rory Jobst, Kayce Bayer, Chris Lin, Ryan B. Richey and numerous other artists.

Spoke Open Hours: Tuesdays & Saturdays 11a.m. - 5p.m.

Quilting Project Continues

Thank you to Spoke for hosting the quilting events this month and last. We've had so much interest that Kim Jackson DeBord and Rachel Moore will be adding two more days at Lill Street Art Center. Feel free to join us. As usual all materials and supplies will be provided, however we could use donations of quilt batting or old blankets such as fleece for the middle layer. 

For more information, please see: www.usaservice.org

Special thanks to those who have volunteered and donated already.

Thursday, February 12th 11a.m. - 3p.m.
