The month of November brings a number of new exhibits to the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center. William Fillmore sculpts figures that are extraordinarily life-like but served with a twist—you will be amazed, amused, and possibly even frightened. Whether on vessels, wall hangings, or large scale sculpture, every clay surface that Barry Barnes touches erupts in a profusion of color, texture, and pattern. Indianapolis artist Carol Myers offers a sheaf of what she calls “pencil prayers”, graphite meditations with watercolor accents, lightly layered in encaustic wax. And the Ivy Tech fine arts students will be presenting their fall semester projects.

All exhibits on display through December 1, during regular gallery hours: Monday through Friday, 9am – 7pm; Saturday 9am – 5pm.

William Fillmore, “Essentially Human,” sculpted figures. Barry Barnes, “Two Sides to Every Story,” ceramic vessels and wall hangings. Carol Myers, “Horizons in Pencil and Wax,” mixed media. Ivy Tech ARTS students Fall Semester Show.

This installation, running from September 11 to December 31, will focus on three photographers Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Weston, and Harry Callahan, who used their romantic partners as their subjects. Whether portraits or nude studies, these images reveal a sensitivity that comes from the artists and sitters’ close personal relationships.

This installation is presented in conjunction it the special exhibition “A Place Aside: Artists and their Partners,” on view at the Kinsey Institute Gallery, September 28–December 20.

Artists working in Paris and Lorraine during the Baroque period developed distinctive styles—which focused on the vibrancy of the line—that differed markedly from their Italian and Dutch contemporaries. The two print kiosks in the early part of the gallery feature French works by Jacques Bellange, Claude Lorrain, Jacques Callot, and Claude Mellan, whose engraving is a tour de force of printmaking that creates the face of Christ using a single line.

Gallery of the Art of the Western World, Doris Steinmetz Kellett Gallery of Twentieth-Century Art, first floor. The British Pop artist Joe Tilson used tabloid journalism and news photography as the basis for many of his prints and multiples of the late 1960s. Becoming increasingly political, he saw the pictures of revolutionary leaders and current events as a means for social commentary. This installation will include several of his works from this turbulent period.

Runs until December 30. Open during regular museum hours (Tuesday – Saturday, 10 am – 5 pm, Sunday 12 pm – 5 pm.)

Seven Bloomington maiolica artists are showing work at the Farmer House Museum from Oct. 5 to Dec. 6, 2012. They are leExposition Universelle. Susan Snyder, who learned the tradition and art of maiolica in Faenza, Italy from traditional artisans, and began to share her knowledge with ceramic artists in Bloomington upon her return, by way of England, in the 1990s. “Majolica”, spelled with a “j”, is the word for a 19 century English and French style, that has little to do with the Italian style, except for the use of metal-based glazes. Snyder practices and teaches the original craft of maiolica, which began in Italy in the 1400s. It is a folk style, in which linear designs are painted in bright colors on plates, bowls and other vessels.

Hours are 10 am -1 pm Wednesday-Friday, 10 am – 4 pm Saturday, 10 am – 2 pm Sunday
