April 13th, 2008 — Sculpture, EK29, Kenosha Art Association, Visual Artist

One of the first things I noticed about Vince Gedgaudas’ sculptures was that they didn’t have faces. Not one of them. The heads were a radical departure from the norm, looking more a futuristic impression of some terrestrial visitor rather than a human. Still, I found them fascinating and wanted to know more. I couldn’t get over how they complimented his amazing attention to detail.
“It’s interpretive. I sculpture a thought.” Continue reading →

Michelle Cascio Photography and Model Casting takes new models and turns them into “agency ready” machines for both Editorial and Commercial markets. Michelle enjoys the Commercial market which allows her models to just be who they are; no worrying about fitting into a stereo-type, clothing size, or age bracket. Whoever, or whatever, you are, there is a place for you. And it’s family friendly!!!
Kenosha is a good place for local models to get started. Continue reading →
April 13th, 2008 — EK29, Lemon Street Gallery, Visual Artist
John Conlon and I first met in an abstract class at Lemon Street. At first John seemed a very shy person. Slowly his sparkle in the eye New England, dry wit surfaced. John’s sensitive, insightful comments of artists’ work, talent and personality integrated very easily into the gallery. There’s an appreciation for his thoughts and direction. His work exhibits these personal characteristics.

Samir Husni, the academic world’s “Dr. Magazine,” who keeps track of this sort of thing, recently reported the birth of 715 magazines during the past year.
Well, now there are 716. Welcome, please, The Bathroom (”A Good Place to Read”), a new poetry magazine published by Racinian Nicholas Michael Ravnikar.
A couple of caveats up front: This is not the poetry of Robert Frost. Nor is it a magazine like, say, George Plimpton’s Paris Review, that you actually could carry into the bathroom. Continue reading →

It was an evening of celebration.
On Friday evening, April 11, community leaders joined the Lakeside board and supporters of the Rhode to celebrate the grand opening of the new west auditorium. Already a winner, the new theater has been playing to full houses for the children’s shows. Music and laughter, food and beverage, pride and pleasure permeated the evening.

April 13th, 2008 — EK29, Music Concert, 716, Racine
Everett Thomas is an emerging modern folk artist who brings a soulful, emotive voice, simple yet striking arrangements and poetic, relevant songwriting to the modern music scene. He has readily connected with an audience who prefers the satisfaction of depth and inspiration over the quickly-fading pleasures of today’s sugar-coated pop. Continue reading →
April 13th, 2008 — EK29, Racine, Poetry
Sponsored by the Racine Public Library, The Poetry Roundtables are a monthly event held at Java Vino wine and coffee shop ( 424 Main St. downtown Racine) and sponsored by the RPL. This is a program free to the public in which, each month, the works of a different contemporary poet will be read and discussed in a setting conducive to individuals with varied levels of poetry experience . Photocopies of the poetry will be provided at the event, but it is recommended participants review some of the work in advance.
This month’s Poetry Roundtable (Thursday, April 17th) will focus on the career of American poet Frederick Seidel. Seidel is not for the faint of heart. He has had a long, strange career, is independently wealthy and notoriously ultra-private (except in his poetry, that is). Very little is even known to the public about Frederick Seidel aside from what’s found in his writing. He is a founding editor of The Paris Review, has had work appear in The Best American Poetry and is as equally abhorred by critics as celebrated.
