This spectacular exhibit of "art on wheels" features photographs of hot rods taken by race car driver and photographer Peter Harholdt. In his career as a photographer, Harholdt has photographed countless works of art for museums across the United States. Using a specially constructed mobile studio, he has developed equipment and techniques for photographing large format objects, including race cars. Whether photographing a painting for the Museum of Modern Art, or a 1932 Ford Roadster, Harholdt's skill and talent reveal the breath-taking beauty of each object. The Art of the Hot Rod exhibit at Annmarie Garden highlights Harholdt's photographs from the book, The Art of the Hot Rod, written by Ken Gross (2008, published by MBI Publishing Company and Motorbooks).

A woolie is a hand-stitched portrait of a ship created by British seamen between the 1830s and 1880s. Long hours at sea, coupled with the on-the-job knowledge of sewing, gave sailors the time and talent to create these exceptional works of art. This unusual collection is on loan from Donald Berezoski.

GLOW Opening Reception - Sunday, December 6, 5-7pm
Just as plants need light for photosynthesis to occur, humanity has thrived and evolved as a result of our relationship with light. Our bodies and minds crave daylight to function properly; a shortage of it and we are affected physically and emotionally. Symbolically, light often represents the good, the spiritual, the mystic, the enlightened, and life itself. Artists have long been fascinated with capturing the qualities of light.
