Downtown Artist Cellar (DAC) presents

Vocabulary: Blending Text and Image, by Diane Fine

Thru Saturday, November 8

In Vocabulary: Blending Text and Image, Diane Fine presents prints that merge word and form in poetic dialogue. Her layered compositions explore themes of kinship, loss, and reflection, inviting viewers into a contemplative space where meaning is both seen and felt. A longtime educator and master printmaker, Fine draws inspiration from her early experiences with letterpress printing, a process that continues to inform her creative voice.

The exhibition also features collaborative works created with award winning poet Lorraine Padden, highlighting the synergy that arises when visual art and poetry intertwine.

Snowfort Books presents

Book Club with local author Caperton Tissot’s On Thin Ice

Sunday, October 26, 4 pm

About the book: Tuck Rising, an injured ski champion, returns to his hometown where he finds work as a Great Camp caretaker. With his new bride Britt Freier and his daughter Tibetta, he moves into a rustic home in the village of Meltmor, planning to stay only until he recovers and returns to racing. However, that is not to be. Like walking on thin ice, every step he takes brings him closer to peril. This story romps through the high jinks and hard times of a northern village and the lives of caretakers. In a twist of magic realism, the prophesies of Pitt and his pet Rat remind us that the way forward is not always clear. Life in the North brings Tuck far more obstacles than flags on a race course. Mystery, fun and sorrow, this story has it all.
