Opening reception: Saturday, April 18, 5 – 8 pm
Circa Gallery, 201 First Street North
RIVER MILES, featuring new paintings by Kansas artist Lisa Grossman, opens Saturday, April 18. It is Grossman's first show with Circa Gallery, and the artist will be in attendance. Grossman began exploring the Kansas River (known as the Kaw to Kansas locals) after moving to Lawrence, Kansas, from Kansas City in 1996. After catching an unforgettable glimpse of the Kaw on a flight, she began investigating the 171-mile length of the river valley with a local pilot, capturing the beauty of the meandering Kaw with photographs and videos. Already a painter of the prairie, primarily in plein air, she continued her meditative investigations, but with an emphasis on the ceaseless flux and flow of the river and its revelatory contrasts of the darkened mass of land and reflected ribbons of light. The exhibition is free and open to the public. For 25 years, Circa Gallery has offered collectors the finest work by emerging and established local and national contemporary artists. For more information visit: www.CircaGallery.org.

Second Story Reading: Bryan Bliss and Pete Hautman
Sunday, April 26, 2 pm
Second Story is the Loft’s reading series for young adult and middle-grade authors. Perfect for families and readers of all ages, Second Story pairs a first-time author with a more established voice in children’s literature. Bryan Bliss is the author of No Parking at the End Times. He holds master’s degrees in theology and fiction and—shockingly—found a professional job that allows him to use both of those degrees. His political philosophy degree, however, is still underutilized. His nonfiction has been published in Image Journal, along with various other newspapers, magazines and blogs. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and two children, both of whom wish he wrote books about dragons. Or wizards. Pete Hautman is the author of more than twenty novels for adults and teens, including the 2004 National Book Award winner Godless, Los Angeles Book Prize winner The Big Crunch, and three New York Times Notable Books: Drawing Dead, The Mortal Nuts and Rash. His “young adult” novels range from science fiction (Rash, Mr. Was, Hole in the Sky and The Obsidian Blade) to mystery (Blank Confession) to contemporary drama (Godless, Sweetblood) to romantic comedy (What Boys Really Want). With novelist, poet and occasional co-author Mary Logue, Hautman divides his time between Golden Valley, Minnesota, and Stockholm, Wisconsin. His latest book is Eden West, the story of a boy growing up in an isolated doomsday cult in Montana. Learn more about Pete Hautman on his website: www.petehautman.com and his blog http://petehautman.blogspot.com.
