Exhibition: Faces
11.20- 1.12
Dexter District Library, Dexter, Michigan

Reception on November 20, 2009, 6:30 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. Open to the public

The face that launched a thousand ships. The face on the barroom floor. Face the Nation. And perhaps, a face that only a mother could love. Twelve artists from the region including A&D emeritus faculty Ted Ramsay, and A&D alums Marcia Polenberg (MFA ​‘88), and John Copley (BFA ​‘69) interpret the theme faces in a range of media.

The exhibition was organized by A&D alumna Joy Naylor (MA ​‘88) and Diane Bennett, art consultants of Distinct Designs, Inc. ​“It’s intriguing to see the way these artists have turned their uncommonly creative eyes to re-imagine some things we think we know all too well — noses, chins, lips, eyes and ears,” said Naylor. ​“Most all faces are about emotion, outer reflections of what is going on inside, “ Bennett said.

Distinct Designs, Inc. specializes in placing art in business and public environments with services that include commissioned works, permanent installations and rotating art exhibits with a special focus on promoting and exhibiting the works of artists from the region.
