SUMMARY:This Sept the Liberty Gallery Presents “WATER – From One drop to an Ocean & Everything In Between”
DESCRIPTION:In the month of September the members of River Ridge Association of Fine Art (RRAFA) explore the theme of Water. To an artist water is fascinating and can be difficult to paint. The artists in the show have used many ideas\, different medium and sizes\, traditional styles to abstract\, up close or far away for viewers to contemplate. Whatever emotion the art evokes\, wistful\, happy\, contemplative and more\, this is a show you will enjoy! \nAnd don’t forget to come by the Historic Liberty Building on First Friday Sept 4 from 5-8 pm to meet the artists in person!

SUMMARY:PPP Welcomes Barbara Anderson & Patty Driscoll in Sept as Guest Artists!
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Anderson & Patty Driscoll both work in soft pastels and often choose similar subject matter for their pieces. Friends for close to thirty years\, creative souls and art lovers\, they decided to embark on a creative journey after raising their families. Their very first pastel class was at a local art school\, and they were the only adults in the class. But they were hooked! They traveled and learned together with many professional artists which put them on the right track. In 2024\, they were thrilled to have been offered a sixth month residency at the Hive\, where sharing a studio allowed the experimentation\, collaboration and creation of this body of work. \nStop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this Sept to see their work ~ come by on First Friday Sept 4th from 5-8pm to meet them in person!

SUMMARY:THE WAY I SEE IT\, Photographic works by Erik Sohner
DESCRIPTION:The work presented in this show consists of primarily still life and constructed reality imagery. My hope is that these images evoke both an emotional response and intellectual connection on some level\, while leaving room for the viewer to explore personal narrative and find their own individual meaning or interpretation. My process generally consists of some style of light painting in capture and composite in post. I use light as my paintbrush and the computer as a canvas to construct and manipulate what I physically see into what I see in my mind’s eye; to explore without boundaries. \nOpen during store hours

SUMMARY:"The Unusual Ocean" by Meghan Jones
DESCRIPTION:Come on down to Auntie’s to learn all about creatures who live in our deep oceans!  \nAuthor Meghan Jones is a local artist with a focus on the deep sea. In 2025 Meghan co-founded the Unseen Ocean Collective; a trailblazing group of four women\, three artists and a scientist\, dedicated to revealing the beauty and wonder of the deep-sea through international art and science outreach events. Meghan took her skills and created this children’s book!  \nBetween four and seven miles deep\, the ocean—where pressure is one ton per square centimeter—evokes both mystery and misunderstanding; accessing these depths is challenging to human exploration. Our fear of this dark unknown often conjures images of monsters of the deep\, especially in the minds of children. Based on current scientific observations and studies\, this book demonstrates that reality can be more fascinating than the wildest imagination all while traveling from the shore to the deepest of ocean trenches. Along the way it introduces children to twenty of the most unusual creatures to inhabit the oceans\, including bone-eating worms\, supergiant amphipods with expanding stomachs\, snails made of iron\, worms that eat chemicals and even hagfish who can suffocate on their own slime. This book will excite a new generation of ocean explorers who can take their piqued interest and become a much needed movement for deep ocean stewardship.  \nWritten for independent readers from ages 8-12\, but enjoyable by everyone! \nThis event is free and open to the public.
