Collected/Constructed: Keith Cotton + Fisher Stolz
October 30 - December 12
Making stainless steel and forest detritus possesses a sense of purpose and movement that belies the materials, Cotton and Stolz scale back distractions to capture perfectly the fleeting moment of inhalation. Fine-art photographer Keith Cotton’s work embraces seasonal naturescapes primarily in B&W diptychs. Displaying maquettes for monumental work, Bradley University Emeritus Professor Fisher Stolz led the sculpture department for thirty-two years.

A Small Wonder Gift Shop October 30 - December 12
A small wonder means small work from local artists and that means work priced for holiday gifts! Gallery 3R is turned into a gift shop for small works of art. Just like a gift shop, buyers may take home the item at the time of purchase. Snap up the best gifts and shop early on November 1st Friday, 11/ 6/26 for the art lover in your life. Glass, ceramics, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, original prints and lots more will be on display.
