Jamestown Community College’s Weeks Gallery invites you to its Annual Fall ArtParty on Saturday, October, 4, 2008.

Joel Whitaker kicks off the event with a brief slide presentation in the Sarita Hopkins Weeks Reception Hall at 6:20 p.m. The party begins at 7 p.m. in the Scharmann/Weeks lobby with wine and beer tasting, hors d’oeuvres, and music by Wendell Rivera’s Latin Jazz Ensemble - a group frequently featured at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and known for their smooth sun-kissed Puerto Rican jazz. 

“This show presents a distinguished group of artists who create human figures that are classical beauty, innovation, and provocative,” says James Colby, director of the Weeks Gallery. Madigan’s Human Nature sun-prints are created when human forms and/or plants block or filter direct sunlight as it falls on large sheets of photographic paper. To’s In Transit, Familiar Voices adds surreal mixed media sculpture and installations. One sculpture combines a carved human figure, cigar box, and white cat made of fabric. Whitaker’s Referent photographs start with family snapshots; then he transforms the images by marking and puncturing the surfaces, adding studio light, and re-photographing.
