Shure says of his approach, “I am a craftsperson, an artist, before I am a cultural anthropologist or whatever other term might describe someone who carries out this kind of study. We observe images with a different level of attention when we look at the rendering of people than when we look at the rendering of architecture, and I am fascinated with the way different levels of resolution in representing these interwoven subjects color our perception of them when they appear in the same image. We read the static, simultaneously available surface of a drawing or painting very differently from the way we interpret what we see happening in the space in front of us.” Calling attention to the play of light on the built environment has been Shure’s subject matter for the past 15 years. In his newest works, the difference between acceptable levels of resolution for people and buildings has increasingly become a central concern. The exhibition is curated by Richard Whitten, RIC assistant professor of art. Since November 1978, the E. M. Bannister Gallery at Rhode Island College has been in continuous operation in presenting a yearly calendar of 8 – 10 exhibitions of contemporary art by local, regional, and internationally renowned artists. The gallery was created by the department of Art and was literally the center of the department for two decades until its relocation in September 2000 to the Roberts Hall / Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts complex. The gallery has presented artworks in all the spectrum of traditional media, as well as more contemporary site specific, electronic, and video projects. Gallery hours during exhibits are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Thursdays, noon to 9 p.m. Closed weekends and holidays. Exhibits and events are free and open to the public. Accessible to persons with disabilities. Accessible to persons with disabilities.

Fine Art Gallery Hand bags worn by Jessica Simpson, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Britney Spears and others designed by Debbie Brooks who evokes the emotions of excitement and adventure of everyday indulgences and transforms them brilliantly into collectable works of art. Setting the trend, Debbie has translated her internationally collected gallery Pop artworks into sophisticated and sassy handbags. Also featured will be photographer Howard Schulman, MD. Throughout
his travels, Schulman has come to appreciate the endless resources,
natural beauty and historical significance Rhode Island has to offer.
Schulman stunningly captures the beauty of Rhode Island through
his photography. Unique and original glass ornaments and sculptures by artist Neal
Drobnis, also help to make this holiday collection perfect for gift
giving. Drobnis is an international award master artist in glass
sculpture. His technique and style of glass blowing is inspired
by nature and ancient artifacts which result in glass sculptures
that are breathtaking in their creativity and colors.
Gallery 17 Peck: International artists, one gallery.
The exhibit will feature one-of-a-kind, original artworks from numerous local, national, and international talents. Featured artwork will range in medium from painting, sculpture, and photography to hand blown glass, ceramics and assemblages. The work represents a marriage of compelling beauty and affordable, original artwork, making the art a unique gift idea this holiday season. The featured artist for the month of November is Connecticut-based ceramic artist Dot Burnworth. Her classic form, wheel-thrown stoneware pieces serve as functional objects, characterized by their bright tones and aesthetic design which reflects the motions of water and rhythms of the earth. Burnworth chooses to alter her wheel thrown forms and multi-layers the slip and glaze during their application to achieve her desired effect. The opening reception for the exhibition will be held at Gallery

College Galleries September 21-November 21 Tribute to Tibet Tibet is considered a ‘traditional’ culture, and its
artworks tend to change little over the centuries. The exhibition
shows this continuity through works that date back several centuries
to ones created recently. Modern works include a ‘Green Tara’
painted by a Tibetan Buddhist Nun, and a semi-abstract oil painting
by Karma Phuntsok, well-known Tibetan diaspora artist now living
in Australia. Hunt-Cavanagh Gallery The Hunt-Cavanagh Art Gallery and the Robert F. and Mary Anne Reilly Gallery present professional exhibitions and graduation shows from the Department of Art & Art History. The Galleries provide the Providence College community and the City of Providence with the opportunity to observe and reflect upon the works of serious artists.
