RECEPTION AT 4:30 p.m. Afloat is a compendium of works by RG Brown that explores the notion of journey and the memories of new-found places and experiences. For RG, boats hold a primary place in human and societal development; they are archetypal vessels used to gather and transport personal experiences that shape how we live in the world. During his career Brown traveled to Africa, South America, Europe and Southeast Asia to learn boat building from indigenous people in various cultures. The exhibit will run from August 20 through October 2, 2015. The Circle Gallery is open to the public weekdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
