From a release:
The Carnegie Center will host an exciting program on Wednesday, August 6th at 6:00 pm. Scottish outdoor installation artist and Bernheim Fellow, Yvonne Mullock, will address the change in how contemporary artists interpret their inspiration from nature. During her talk, Yvonne will use her own work and that of other contemporary artists to explore approaches to landscape. For more information about Yvonne Mullock, please visit her website at http://www.yvonnemullock.co.uk/index.htm
This program is in conjunction with the Carnegie Center's current landscape exhibition "Sidney D. Crosier: Hoosier Art Pioneer (1858-1930)." You are invited to enjoy the talk and stay after for refreshments and a chance to view the exhibition.
Please join us for this unique opportunity.
I had the pleasure of meeting Yvonne last Friday and the C-J's Diane Heilenman ran a nice piece about her in the most recent Sunday edition - Our links to nature move artist.
I, for one, am looking forward to hearing more about contemporary landscapes, pigeons in leather, and deer in camouflage from someone with a keen mind and a bit of a Scottish brogue.

Don't let anyone tell you New Albany is not a city of the mind.
The Carnegie Center is a treasure, and it represents an inclusive future for the arts in N.A., open to all, at no charge.
Kudos to the professional staff and to NAC for shining the spotlight.
Let me invite everyone to the event of the season, the Taste of Art and History next month. The $60 a head is a small price to pay for one of the great events of the end-of-summer.
There's no doubt art and culture have a substantial role to play in attracting and retaining minds in New Albany.
As has been proven in city after city, the arts can have a tremendous economic impact. One need go no further than West Main and East Market in Louisville to see that firsthand.
Condos and businesses are springing up and residential population is increasing in direct relation to the availability of cultural opportunities.
If things go well at the Carnegie tonight, some of those folks will be checking out downtown New Albany this evening.
thanks for the info - ahhh, a gentle progressive breeze is blowing away the foul fighting vapors of old.
I believe Mr kaiser was being sarcastic when "thanking" the council for the exemption. This will increase the debate over why one business has an advantage over the other. Think of the Churchill Downs xemption in Louisville. Any continued delay or discusion on this topic is a win for the opponents. His objective is to stir up the emotions of other business owners so that they stand up to the obvious unfair legislation of this council. An exemption to smoke in the retail store is moot, the overall concept is the problem. The exemption is a very viable thoroughfare to litigate against the ordinance. The worm is on the hook, we'll just have to wait for a cognizant business owner to take the bait and run.
