The Venue is pleased to host the first exhibition of mixed media artwork by Jean Dayton, founder of Lakeside Artglass. Jean Dayton’s work took her across the United States and around the world. Her travels always incorporated the artwork of the communities she visited, which is evident in the wonderful pieces in this show. Entitled “Reflections of Nature”, Dayton demonstrates her talents in the medium of hand broken shards of glass, combined with natural found materials including creek rock, sea shells and more.

Join us Friday, October 20th at 6:00 p.m. for an exhibition of artwork never before seen in our community!

Those stigmatized as “other” have a range of options for managing their stigma, and have historically been expected to try to cover and minimize their otherness. However, these demands–and categorization itself–can be resisted by choosing to present and perform publicly. Performing artist Jennifer Miller has used circus and sideshow platforms, and her own gender-bending bearded-ness, to challenge norms of self-presentation in society. As a bearded woman, Miller confronts gender confusion on a daily basis. As a skilled circus director and performer, she has used her personal experience of being “othered” to create performances that help audiences see into an experience of gender fluidity that can be liberating and joyous. This free public event will be co-sponsored by Themester: Diversity, Difference, Otherness.
