The Earlville Opera House Arts will host a reception for three new exhibits on Saturday from 6 p.m. to 7:30pm.

This is a free event with refreshments and an opportunity to meet the artists.

In the East Gallery, Kim Waale's new installation for EOH explores "how we address both our closeness to and distance from the natural world in the ways we represent nature." She says, "By reconstructing and re-imagining the natural world, I hope to create art that revives a visionary impulse and encourages one to imagine fewer barriers between nature and him/herself." Waale has been a professor of art at Cazenovia College since 1988.

In the West Gallery are works by Barbara Mink. She saus, "Ten years ago I founded an annual winter festival in Ithaca which features performers in both the arts and sciences, so I'm often thinking about creative synergies. Last year I tried framing my work with concepts from physics and math. At first I veered strongly toward literal connections, but I soon ended up naming the works in "Event Horizons" more playfully. Rather than being intentional interpretations of the concepts, they remain strongly outside the "frame" as abstract paintings."

In the Arts Café, Amy Eustance of Hamilton exhibits her figure drawings. "The human body and its relationship to its environment are sources of endless curiosity to me," she said. "My work explores the figure and energy: bodies in motion, bodies at rest, and the forces acting upon them: potential, kinetic, imaginary."

The community is invited to attend all three shows, which run through Nov. 6.
