Local Artist Exhibit: Life After Life
Steve Athanas
August 26 - October 18
Athanas has lived a creator’s life since his early teens. Originally a stage and musical performer, he moved into the visual arts, allowing his quirky imagination room to roam across various media such as drawing, watercolor, and sculpture with an eye on the quirkiness of the English language. His work, whether 2D or 3D, attempts to let others into his vision of the world, with all its challenges, darkness and smatterings of beauty.

Hindsight: Past Lives
Ben Morales
September 3 – October 25
Ben Morales is a photographer and art director born and raised in Ohio, and a graduate of Bowling Green State University. Ben’s photography strives to unveil the beauty and meaning in the world around us by capturing the natural and manmade environments that most people take for granted. With a love of history and a curiosity for forgotten and overlooked places, he seeks to connect us with the past and challenge our perceptions of the world we inherited. With a desire to inform and delight, Ben’s work invites us to see things differently, not only how they once were, but also reimagining what they could be. His book, "Hindsight: Northwest Ohio Through the Lens of Time", features his well-known photographs of historic Toledo landmarks, seamlessly juxtaposing the past with the present.
