Constructed Connections – a new book of vivid and dynamic paintings created by Allan A. Teske. In this series of paintings, he invites the viewer to see from the view of not knowing. The paintings, with their adjacent words activate disconnects to our known knowing. In that space, new created connections are awakened allowing the possibility of knowing from a created seeing.
To purchase copies of the book for you or as gifts for friends go to http://www.allanteske.com/ then Artist, Artists News or order direct by calling 773 239 4440

Closing Reception November 12, 7-10pm for National Juried Exhibit “Being Human” November 12, 7-10pm, jurie by Dan Addington, Addington Gallery Chicago.
Being Human shows us what it is to “be human” through the eyes of 65 artists from around the country. The art depicts imagery, stories, and situations that are drawn from the human experience. The exhibit inspires, provokes, and challenges the viewer to relate to the imagery in some way and consider what it means to be human.
Being Human has been one of the most successful exhibits in Union Street Gallery history. This exhibit was widely attended and well received by the community, artists, and art professionals. The positive feedback has been so overwhelming that we have added a closing reception for this exhibit.
Join us Saturday, November 12, from 7-10 pm to celebrate the closing of this outstanding exhibit with spoken word and poetry. All artists and poets are welcome to come and share their words at the open mic.
This event is free and open to everyone. Open mic starts at 7:30 pm
