The first of these, held in 1988, “American Art Since WWIL” fo- cused on well-established, post- war American artists, while the second, “Artists of the ‘80s,” in 1989, concentrated on a younger and then emerging generation of artists. This third event contin- ues this in-depth look at an im- portant regional collection by highlighting the work of six artists that entered The Maslow Collection at the close of the last century. The exhibition will feature more than 15 works of art repre- senting two divergent tendencies in painting of the late 1980s and 1990s — the figurative work of Jane Hammond, Robert Cum- ming, and John Beerman, and the nonrepresentational, or ab- stract, painting of Willy Heeks, Terry Winters, and Melissa Mey- er. The exhibition will be accom- panied by an illustrated full-col- or catalogue, including short es- says on each artist. “This project offers a rare opportunity to area residents to view and study a comprehensive cross-section of recent trends in contemporary American art,” said Ronald R.

Terry Leonino began playing with Greg at Kent State Univer- sity in 1973. Terry witnessed the infamous shootings ~ that expe- rience ‘captured in Magpie’s emotionally charged composi- tion, “Kent.” Concert-goers will be treated to much more than nostalgia. The Washington, D.C.-based singer-songwriters received that city’s “WAMMIE Award” for Folk Duo of the Year 2001. Along with vocal harmonies and gui- tars, Magpie’s musicianship is astounding on instruments as varied as mandolin, English concertina, and Native American flute. : Adult fans of Magpie’s blend of traditional folk, country, blues, and contemporary will want to bring their families to the free children’s matinee at the Diet- rich. Terry Leonino earned three degrees in elementary education from Kent, and since 1983 Mag- pie has created magical chil- dren's performances across the) country under the auspices of the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.
