4:00pm - 6:00pm, Opening
Reception: New Exhibitions. Main Gallery: Grey Matter juried by
Linda Weintraub (opened to the public October 25, through November 16).
Grey occupies that sometimes uneasy space between black & white; is it
compromise or capitulation, cooperation or co-opting? It is also the
colloquial term for the thinking parts of our brains. Make of it what
you will. This is a group exhibition of works in all media – painting,
photography, prints, drawings, mixed media and sculpture.

starting in 1986, Bender is well-known for her work as a public and

backdrops for performing arts productions regionally and across the
eastern U.S. Locally, Leslie has worked at the Woodstock School of Art
and helped the school set up a lithography program. Her art work has
been included in shows at the Whitney Museum Downtown Branch and the
Museum of Modern Art in New York City, as well as museums and galleries
