Reception 5pm - 7pm (artists’ talks at 6pm)
Lynn Criswell’s latest work poses, defines, and celebrates human figures in an invented territory composed of truncated text, animals both fabled and fabulous, and expansive, bare landscapes. Over the past 25 years Criswell has shown all over the world and is in many private collections. Most recently she has been shown by Limn Gallery in San Francisco and Seattle.

The etchings and sculptures by Kathleen Nartuhi have been mapped and traced and given their color and eloquence in silent solitude. Loud music used to shoot through Nartuhi’s studio when her medium was ceramics, many pieces of which can be found in collections from Chico and Washington, D.C., to Israel and China.

Conversations on Diversity, No Secrets, No Silence: Stopping Violence Against Women

Violence is too often a fact of life at one point or another in a woman’s life. Based on Department of Justice statistics, we all are acquainted with women who have been victimized—whether we’re aware of this or not. Yet victims of intimate partner violence or sexual assault can feel isolated because of society’s lack of awareness and corresponding lack of public support. How many people know, for example, that the perpetrators of sexual assault crimes are usually men whom the victims know? Understanding the complexities and dynamics of this violence is an important first step in addressing and reducing it.

Please join us for this Conversation on Diversity in which we’ll discuss these important issues and the impacts on women’s lives. We will be meeting in BMU 210 from 12noon - 1pm on March 4, 2009 and snacks will be provided.

For more information, please contact the Office of Diversity at 530-898-4764.
