Harlan Hubbard: Ripple Effect
Opening Reception, Sunday, April 13, 2-4 p.m.
In the exhibit Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard, the themes that informed Mr. Hubbard's writing, his painting, his printmaking and his way of life are celebrated in the images, words and artifacts are on display.
Those themes include simplicity in how life is lived ─ always asking what is essential, what is not? They include beauty in the natural world and in the human capacity to make art, whether in song or words or images. They include his pioneering views on sustainability and the rejection of the modern ethic to use something and then dispose of it.
