    The summer exhibition will highlight examples in contemporary craft of a Vanitas theme. “Vanitas” is a Latin word used since the Renaissance to describe the transitory nature of life. The term characterizes the appreciation of life’s pleasures and accomplishments joined with the awareness of their inevitable loss. Artists Candy De Pew, Myra Mimlitsch Gray, Katherine Kaminsky, Audrey Hasen Russell and Gae Savannah will present work that explores this theme for a contemporary audience, drawing on its 17th Century origins in Dutch Still Life Painting. More information on this exhibit and participating artists can be found on our website.
