Michael Loderstedt will be on hand at the Busta Gallery for informal conversation on Saturday, 21 Jan., from 2-4p. A good chance to see the work up close and to talk with the artist, especially if you missed the opening. Students majoring in art education were spotlighted in two December Daily Kent Stater and KentWired articles, which focused on the community children's art classes and on work by student members of the National Art Education Association local chapter with members of local PowerCorps, a community-service program.
