Fischer and Kate Currie have created all new work for their exhibition, Fantastic
Terrors, which opens with a reception at the Oxford Community Arts
Center on Second Friday, October
12th at 6 pm. This
seasonal exhibit was inspired by the life and work of Edgar Allen Poe and the
theme serves well as a juncture for Fischer and Currie’s two very different
styles of work. Fischer transforms
discarded inner tubes into sculptural forms, while Currie combines woodworking
and drawing into engaging kinetic objects.
In addition to “Fantastic Terrors”, an exhibition
titled “Photo Unrealism” will also open on Second Friday. This group show includes work by James Bear, Bryan
Meyung, Tiffany Pacileo, Ben Feallock, Carol
Burke, Nellie Bly Cogan, and others.
These amazing images are the product of the artist’s creativity and
(sometimes) their computer skills.
At 8 pm the “Jericho Old Time Band” will
take the stage in the ballroom. Jericho,
a group based in Oxford, Ohio, presents an eclectic mix of American roots music
including lively old time fiddle tunes, different banjo styles and great
harmony singing; members include Judy and Warren Waldron of Rabbit Hash String
Band, Dale Farmer, Amy Clay, Susan Pepper, and Jonathan Bradshaw.
The OCAC After School Arts program’s
Fall Exhibit will also be on display.
The children participating in the program range in age from 6 to 14
years old and have created a number of pieces using different mediums. They are eagerly looking forward to showing
the community what they can do. A
reception for the children and their guests will begin at 6 pm in the North
Parlor.
OCAC’s Second
Fridays Art Evening is a celebration of the arts. From 6 to 9 pm this free monthly event
features live music, exhibits of visual art and a reception. OCAC’s third floor studio artists host Open
Studios, and the Art Shop Cooperative opens

well as purchase one-of-a-kind artwork directly from the artists. Ballroom
Dance, with Nancy Sturgeon and
Janet Holmes offering gentle instruction, begins at 8 pm, with open dancing
between 9 and 10pm. (There is a small $5
fee but no sign-up is required.)
