In the modern theater, unsung artists called Sound Designers are quietly engaged to flesh out theatrical productions with recordings of crickets, doorbells and phone rings.

Stop by the BPA Gallery in May for 'Light, Glass, and Crows,' an exhibit of oil on canvas by Kent Holloway. Kent's recent works in oils cover a variety of subject matter - some loose impressionistic works, and some more refined, but all exploring the play of light on a range of surfaces. He's been particularly interested in the brush strokes, and the impasto or smooth applications needed to create the illusion of different surfaces ranging from flower petals, to glass, and clouds. Studying the surfaces of his subject matter, he imagines the brush strokes and paint texture he'll apply to the canvas, saying, 'This prepares my vision before I pick up the brush.'
