Sculpture: Architecture, Artifact and Totem
2015-09-18 11:00 - 2015-10-11 17:00 | Center Gallery at Lake Street Studios
Sculpture – architectural and totemic – comes to Center Gallery for an extended stay. The work of artists Larry Fox and Van Wilson is on display Sept. 18-Oct. 11. A 6 p.m. reception for the artists opens the show.

Fox constructs non-representational wall compositions from wood and canvas. The Omena artist is known locally and nationally for the dimensional, dynamic shapes he constructs, and for the complex surfaces he creates from layers of acrylic paint. Fox’s work is found in private collections as well as on the walls of corporate enterprises.

Wilson’s freestanding, totemic sculptures are carved from wood or assembled from metal and other found objects. The Maple City artist grew up in West Texas and brought with him a love of crows, the traditional messengers of the spirit world. Wilson takes a playful approach to creating his totems, mixing and matching and stacking shapes and creatures that he has painted in eye-popping colors.

For more information, please call Center Gallery, 231/334-3179.

Join us at Beppi’s at The Homestead for live entertainment from renowned Levi Britton.
Levi Britton is an indie/folk/rock artist who hails from Traverse City, MI. Growing up around music sparked his drive to make it his profession. At age 20 Levi moved to Chicago, playing down in the subways, Potbelly restaurants, and any gig he could find. Eventually Britton co-founded his band, Down the Line that went on to release 5 albums, and toured the country for ten years with artists such as The Gin Blossoms, Pat Benatar, Peter Frampton, America, Keith Anderson, Lighthouse, and others.
In 2011, Levi and DTL band mate Dan Myers formed Stolen Silver, releasing two albums—most recently in June 2014. Stolen Silver has recently been touring with actor Gary Sinise and The Lieutenant Dan Band, playing stadiums and military bases in support of U.S. troops and their families.
In addition to playing with Stolen Silver, 2014 launched Levi’s solo career at a whole new level. After years of fans clamoring for a solo project, Levi hit the studio to record all new, original music. His first solo record, “Inside” is set to be released in mid-2015.
Beppi’s serves artisan pizzas and a limited menu from Nonna’s, craft beer, wine and liquor.
