February 4-27: Interrupted Landscapes, an exhibit of digital and silverprint photography. The exhibit features solo and collaborative work by Michigan-based artist Lisa Steichmann and Los Angeles writer/photographer Josh Steichmann. Their collaborative work grew out of a text by Josh, How to Tread Water, set to images by Lisa. Lisa's other work for this show is both new and a retrospective of her fragmentary landscapes from the U.S. and Italy and in digital and traditional-process prints. Josh's work for the show features his vision of the landscape of Southern California, which reflect the alienation and anomie of the everyday in SoCal. Opening reception Saturday, February 6, 5:00-7:00 PM.

Opening reception Saturday, February 6. Both artists will be available to speak about their work at the reception.

Need for volunteer Gallery Docents
The gallery is fortunate to have a group of dedicated docents who "gallery sit" during exhibitions, but is always in need of more volunteers. If you can assist--either regularly or just occasionally--please leave a message at 480-2787 or write to RACgallery@yahoo.com for more information.
