SUMMARY:Things Aren’t What They Seem
DESCRIPTION:Things Aren’t What They Seem is an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Ryan Patience Rushing\, a multidisciplinary artist and designer. Rushing’s engagement with letterforms is the bedrock of her practice\, and a point from which she examines physics\, philosophy\, psychology. A philomath and amateur cosmologist\, Rushing’s interests span Simulation Theory\, String Theory\, Optimistic Nihilism\, fallacies\, and semiotics. The nature of our world and how we understand it are at the core of this work.  \nRushing’s career in design spans 15 years of experience in graphic design\, marketing\, branding\, UX design\, and front-end development. She received her BFA from Louisiana Tech University in 2009 which provided a fine art foundation for her career. \nIn 2019\, her branding work for a Dallas city council candidate was hailed as a ‘master class in visual political communication’ by D Magazine. She is also a sought-after speaker in design\, development\, and accessibility\, having shared her insights with prominent organizations such as Shopify UX\, CreativeMornings\, Texas Woman’s University\, and the National Student Show and Conference. \nPassionate about keeping the arts accessible\, Rushing will provide a free workshop on Broad Line Calligraphy using simple Crayola Markers. Open to the public\, advance registration is requested. Register now at https://sites.google.com/hcc.edu/taberartgallery/events \nCelebrate this exhibition by joining us for an opening reception on November 3\, 2023 6-8 p.m.

SUMMARY:The Cozy Bookclub & Fiber Circle
DESCRIPTION:Are you dreading winter? Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!
