"Color Vibes!" Art Exhibit at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette
<p>Built out of the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette's permanent collection, "Color Vibes!" offers a dazzling dive into the vibrancy of the selected works. The exhibition showcases art that inventively uses bold, saturated, and even hallucinatory colors. Just as the artists pushed the boundaries of color use, Curator Andrea Klutzke has challenged the traditions by displaying the art in a color-infused environment. Together, "Color Vibes!" shows the inventiveness, freedom, and fun found in testing the extreme possibilities that color offers. Open to the public 7 days a week from 11-4PM. </p>

"Layering" Art Exhibit at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette by Rob Millard-Mendez
<p>Influenced by the artist's younger days spent on and around boats in New England, these selections from his ongoing series of nautically-themed constructions make us stop, laugh, and think. Drawing from a deep well of classical and pop culture allusions, as well as fears, dreams, and current events, the artist crafts his distinctive assemblages from unexpected materials, visual puns, and wit. A professor of art in the Art and Design department at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville,Millard-Mendez uses bold forms and colors to engage viewers and spark conversation and wonder.</p>
