People and Places
Portraits and Landscapes by Photographer Shane Gutierrez
April 8th - 29th
Gallery Hours:
Tuesday - Saturday, Noon - 4 p.m.
Fresh from the very popular show at the Cranston Public Library, Shane
Gutierrez shares his photographic images of landscapes and portraits
with the Warwick Museum of Art.
The images that will be on display are an eye-catching sampling of the
people he knows and places he's been. Only by the keen eye of a
photographer does Shane capture the truth and beauty of everything that
surrounds him through the rich tones and equally balanced contrast of
his photographs.
There is no admission fee although a small donation to support the Museum is graciously accepted.

GLIMPSES OF HEAVEN
Directed by Michael Oved Dayan; Canada (67 mins)
As a small child, Peter Gary lay helpless while Nazis murdered his mother. Left to die in a desolate forest with only a handful of other survivors, Gary narrowly escaped his own extermination on Christmas Eve in 1941. During the Japanese invasion of China, Wayne Ngan fled to Canada at the age of 13. Unable to speak the language and exposed to snow for the first time, Ngan lived with alcoholic grandparents who mirrored the environment's icy welcome. George Littlechild was separated from his family as a baby when the Canadian government determined that indigenous people were incapable of providing for themselves. As a result, his youth is marked by painful memories of physical and mental abuse at the hands of white foster families assigned to care for him.
Michael Oved Dayan's award winning, directorial debut is starkly shot and told directly from the source, weaving three profoundly personal journeys into one intimate narrative of survival. Glimpses of Heaven chronicles the heroic journey from past suffering to create beauty and harmony in the present.
Suggested donation of $10* to benefit the WMOA 2008/09 Arts programming.

Don Manley and Michel Schtakleff will present a seven minute video clip of their documentary entitled “Old House Soul”. They are researching the local history of architectural preservation with a focus on preservation architect Steve Tyson. Steve Tyson and his firm, Architectural Preservation Group, have been fixtures of the Apponaug community for decades. Steve’s work in Apponaug includes the Harrison house on Post Road south, the Caleb Gorton House on Greenwich Avenue, his shop on Meadow Street, and the Arnold house previously located near the Four Corners, which he saved from demolition by moving it to Buttonwoods.
He was also involved in the formation of the Apponaug Historic District and on Warwick’s Historic District Commission. After screening the trailer Don and Michel welcome the audience’s input related to historic architectural preservation.
Audience commentary may be included in the film.br />
Additionally Don will speak of his experience moving an 1840s house from Scituate to its current location in Foster. He also relocated the 19th century Bennett barn to the same property. The presentation is accompanied by a slide and video show.

What is more inspiring then the human body.
Through our body language and facial expressions we transmit information
that would take pages if written down. Medical issues can cripple the
body, bigotry can infect the viewer and mute the meaning; yet with our
bodies we find healing, love, birth, god and even the devil.
Both a vehicle of expression and a vessel to entrap the soul; the human
body is one of the strongest symbols of communication. Through the use
photographs, collage, mirrors and paint the artists in this exhibit
focus on the body as a mode of communication.
The Warwick Museum of Art proudly presents Unexpected Company, Rhode Island's premier long-form improvisational comedy group, every Sunday night at 7:17 PM.
Unexpected Company is held in the main exhibition gallery and intended for mature audiences. Admission is $5.00.3259
