L E M O N S ! !
For five years now Detroit Artist and Curator Alice V. Schneider has been plucking fruit right off the vine to delight and entice both artist and collector. This year's fruit is both sour and succulent, juicy and M O I S T... it has the power to clean the filthiest of places and dirty up the cleanest of minds. Come and join us on July 14th at Public Pool for L E M O N S ! ! from 7-11pm. Lemon oil aroma does not influence the human immune system, however, it may contribute to its relaxation. So, let your nose waft in the powerful citrus as your eyes dance around the yellow hues.

Things Being Felt
It's a new moon on Friday, July 13th, a perfectly vibey evening for the opening reception of Jessica Wildman Katz's new exhibition: Things Being Felt. In this body of work, the process of fusing animal fiber around mementos is a collaboration between the object, the wool, my hand and the vivid happenings of my life that somehow live within them. The act is slow and deliberate, a meditation that is equal parts commemoration and liberation, a performance and ritual metamorphosis of memory.
Opening Reception, Friday July 13th,
6-9pm.
