Pump House Shows: From Wide-Ranging Fabric to Reimagine and Lizardmania

Today, Friday October 28th, is the last day for the current show at the Pump House Center for the Arts - but another will start right up. Kevin Coleman spoke to one of the staff.

Pump House second vice president Angela Young helped set up October's show, "Art in Fabric - Where Traditional Meets Modern." She says the show has done well, and included a side event.

It features an image of prehistoric Hopewell burial cloth, dolls, traditional and modern quilts, reproduction antebellum dresses, and more.

The show ends 6pm Friday, but some pieces may linger over the weekend. The Pump House is open 11-6 Tuesday through Friday, Saturday 11-4, Sunday 1-4, and is closed Monday.

Then next Thursday, November 3rd, has opening receptions for two concurrent shows.

Young says "Reimagine" is a fundraiser for the Carver Community Center on West Fourth Street, and will include a silent auction running the entire month.

"Lizardmania" will feature delightful paper maché figures.

Kevin Coleman covers local government and culture for iHeart Media Southern Ohio. For stories or questions, contact the iHeart Southern Ohio Newsroom or Kevin Coleman. (He apologizes for the late report, but he was distracted by cycling 14 miles for pies on the night of the reception.)
