Carbonaro Works His Magic

We’re all looking for a little bit of magic in our lives—whether it’s through books, movies, romance, or something else—and cling to the hope that it does, in some way, exist. Well, who’s to say that it doesn’t?

Prepare to have that question answered this Thursday as hidden-camera magician Michael Carbonaro puts on a dazzling show that will blur the lines between fantasy and reality then leave you stunned as you try, and fail, to put the pieces together.

Best known for his TV series “The Carbonaro Effect”, in which he puts himself in everyday situations, often posing as a retail worker, and tricks unsuspecting customers into believing the impossible, Carbonaro has talent that leaves you mind-blown by his deceptions while bursting with laughter.

“I say there’s a difference between a good prank and a bad prank,” said Carbonaro. “A good prank is everyone’s laughing at the end. The show is not mean-spirited at all and it’s all in good fun. It’s really trying to get people to believe that the universe doesn’t work the way they thought it did.”

Carbonaro will be at the Tivoli Theatre at 7 p.m. this Thursday, so hurry and grab your tickets for a jaw-dropping, eye-widening, hand-over-your-mouth kind of night that you’re sure to enjoy, as long as you understand that a magician never reveals his secrets. — Lindsey Clute

In coordination with these events, In-Town Gallery on Frazier Avenue presents WomanART: Celebrating International Women’s Month. Featuring artwork by the female members of the gallery, this broad ranging show presents fine art and fine craft in numerous media- -artwork that is creative, beautiful, provocative and compelling.

In conjunction with First Friday, the opening reception is Friday, March 6th, from 5 to 8 p.m. and the show will remain up until March 31st.

Established in 1911, a time when very few women had the right to vote, International Women’s Day is about unity, reflection, advocacy and action. It is a celebration of gender equality and of the con

“The range and quality of the fine art and fine craft that our women create is truly impressive,” says Carol Ott, president of In-Town Gallery. “In many ways it stands in defiance to a time when women were not encouraged to be professional artists and artisans. In-Town Gallery has sixteen female members working in media such as painting, sculpture, jewelry making, pottery, and fused glass. It’s an honor for us to join in an

international celebration of the many achievements of women with a show like this.”

Some examples of the quality and range of the paintings on display can be seen in works such as “Landscape II” (Ellyn Bivin); “Four Afghan Women” (Miki Boni); “Optimism” (Jennie Kirkpatrick); “Unbound” (Janice Kindred), and “Pink: Tribute to Helen Frankenthaler” (Julie Turner).

Equally interesting is a beautifully rendered drawing by Gay Arthur, “Nude in Repose”. Other painters whose work is on display are Helen Brooks, Lee Glascock, Nadine Koski and Lori Ryan.

However, while these paintings are impressive, the creative world of the women of In-Town Gallery extends far "Optimism" by Jennie Kirkpatrick

beyond wall art. This show also offers fabric art like “All That Jazz” (Jan Lamoreaux), sculpture by Denice Bizot, pottery by Laurie Graham, fused glass by Mary Beth McClure, and jewelry by Eleanor Goodson, Barbara Murnan and Carol Ott.

WomanART: Celebrating International Women’s Day will be on display for the entire month of March. The work of the women artists and artisans showing at In-Town Gallery can, of course, be seen year-round.

In-Town Gallery is an artist co-op gallery, actually one of the oldest artist cooperatives in the United States, with the artists staffing the gallery themselves. With no admission fee, they are open seven days a week and offer a wide range of art and fine craft from thirty artists, including paintings in many media, natural dyed silk wearables, sculpture, pottery and creative wood items. Also featured are works in glass, metal, exquisite jewelry and fine art photography.

In-Town Gallery is located on the North Shore at 26A Frazier Avenue, and is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

They also feature different artistmembers every first Friday of the month with a lively open reception from 5-8p.m. Stop by anytime of the year but do try to and get there in March to support an international event on a local level.
