STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
NORM MAGNUSSON
SCOTT MCCARNEY
JENNIFER PAUL

5 -7 pm Reception for exhibition

These three artists will place their work among the flower beds of Petit Versailles. Each of them uniquely investigates the ephemeral and fantastic as well as the darker side of existence. Norm places plant markers observing such events as Columbine and Dachau. Scott places rubber gloves filled with earth, seeds and surprise objects revealed thru the slow decomposition of the gloves and Jennifer spins fairy tales of gorgeous kaleidoscopic color.

7 - 8:30 pm MUSIC - ACCORDIAN ANGELS
A quartet of accordians plays contemporary composition s and a few more recognizable tunes! Bob Goldberg is composer and directs this ensemble.

9PM - Free Form Film Festival
