Keepers of the Earth is a body of work developed over 16 years and across 10 countries (Ghana, Morrocco, Japan, Cuba, South Africa, Thailand, France, United States, Costa Rica, and Italy) capturing images that embody the essence of the female spirit as goddesses, mothers, caregivers, guardians of resources, bearers of traditions and knowledge, symbols of fertility, and all facets of creation.

A vibrant new exhibition, "LIGHTPLAY," featuring artful ceramic lamps by highly regarded local ceramic artists Elliott Kayser and Kate Tremel will be on display at Yourist Studio Gallery from February 21 through April 5.

Exhibition hours:
February 21 through April 5
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays
12:00-6:00 pm

Elliott Kayser's whimsical animal lamps include a whole host of dinosaurs, plus elephants and other animals you might see on safari in Africa. Kate Tremel's elegant pierced lamps cast a lovely contemplative play of light and shadow. For both artists, these works arise from and promote the joy of light and play.

The American past was lived in full color, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid, if not downright dull. But look a little closer, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore, to the games they played, or the books they read, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.

Exhibition open weekdays from 12-4.

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow restrictions on birthright citizenship to partly take effect, even as the initial executive order is blocked nationwide by three federal appeals courts.

Join faculty experts to learn about Birthright Citizenship in the United States: the historical context (including the origins of the 14th Amendment), the Trump Administration's executive order seeking to restrict it, the litigation that has so far blocked that effort, and how all this fits into the current constitutional and political moment.
