Steve Sack Location: Inez Greenberg Gallery Reception: Thursday,
May 28, 6-8 pm Artist's Talk: Thursday, June 18, 7 pm For nearly
30 years Steve Sack has been the editorial cartoonist for the Minneapolis Star
Tribune. This well-known and well recognized cartoonist has made us snicker and
smile about the many trials, tribulations, and out right absurdity of our U.S.
political landscape. In this exhibition, however, the subject will be everyday
people and even animals in touching and hilarious settings that will surely make
you laugh out loud. In conjunction with this exhibition Mr. Sack will give a Gallery
Talk about his art, his process and the life of a professional cartoonist.

in Wood Dates: July 30-September 18, 2009 Artist:
Lyle Fitzgerald
Lyle Fitzgerald is an 82 year old former middle school
teacher from Ames, Iowa. He is a self taught artist who, despite the 50% loss
of use of his right hand, began exploring layered three-dimensional wood art eight
years ago. The wonderfully colorful compositions have an illustrative feel and
reflect a simpler time. This show is sure to please and inspire us all. | | Bridges
