May 22 to July 3: Shadur and Boros exhibit at Gallery of Art
May 22 to July 3: Shadur and Boros exhibit at Gallery of Art
Gabriella Boros' work will be featured in a new exhibit at the CLC Art Gallery.
Gabriella Boros' work will be featured in a new exhibit at the CLC Art Gallery.
A new exhibit of paintings and works on paper by artists Beth Shadur and Gabriella Boros opens on Friday, May 22 at the Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art at the College of Lake County. An opening reception will be held from 7-9 p.m. on May 22 in the gallery with music by pianist Vladimir Shifrin. The reception is free and open to the public.
Shadur’s newest work in the “away with the faeries” series investigates the sacred symbol of the spiral, not only as it is reflected in Celtic history but within various cultures throughout history, as the oldest existing symbol of human spirituality. Shadur has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions in the United States and abroad. She has created over 125 large public murals as public, private and community art projects in both the U.S. and Great Britain. She is an Artist-in-Education for the Illinois Arts Council in Chicago and has taught and served as a visiting artist at many colleges and universities.
Boros is the child of Holocaust survivors who were transplanted from Europe to the newly forming state of Israel, and her works reflect both European and Israeli cultural influences. Boros applies up to ten layers on the surface, working as the “Old Masters” did. Boros has done solo exhibitions throughout Chicagoland and has been featured in numerous group and juried exhibitions in the Chicago area.
The Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art on the Grayslake Campus is a project of the College of Lake County Foundation and is located at 19351 W. Washington St. For further information, contact curator Steve Jones at (847) 543-2240 or via e-mail. Or visit the gallery online.

Digital Television...Are You Ready?
The Digital Television Transition - Are You Ready?
Big changes are coming to broadcast television. On June 12, all full-power broadcast television stations are required to stop broadcasting in analog and continue broadcasting in digital only. This is known as the digital television (DTV) transition. The DTV transition will be an historic moment in the evolution of TV. However, if you have an analog TV with a rooftop antenna or "rabbit ears" on your set, you will not be able to watch full-power broadcast stations after June 12 unless you get a "digital-to-analog converter box."
For more information about the DTV transition, go to www.dtv.gov or contact the FCC by emailing dtvinfo@fcc.gov or calling 1.888.CALL.FCC.
