Art Exhibit, "Holobiont: Woodcut Prints by Amanda Lilleston""Holobiont" presents a selection of woodcut prints and collages by Maine-based artist, Amanda Lilleston. A holobiont is a host organism and its associated organic community that functions as a single ecological unit. Inspired by the interconnected systems of biology and physiology, Lilleston uses woodcut printmaking as a tool to explore the mutuality between the world and the bodies it continually shapes. Through drawing, relief carving, and printing, she transforms imagery of the body and landscape into shifting and evolving compositions, investigating the idea of self and what that means in an interconnected environment. Lilleston is an Assistant professor of Art at Cooby College and has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally including the International Triennial Colour in Graphic Arts in Torún, Poland; Boston Printmakers North American Print Biennial; the Atlanta Print Biennial; the Zillman Art Museum, and upcoming participation in the DI CARTA / PAPERMADE 6th edition: International Contemporary Art Biennale at the Museo Civico Palazzo Fogazzaro in Schio, Italy.

ArtsFarmington Presents: UNBOUGHTArtsFarmington is pleased to offer its next program “UNBOUGHT” at the Emery Performance Space in Farmington with a reception to follow at the North Church. February is Black History Month and March is Women’s HistoryMonth. This makes “Unbought” especially timely. It features the dramatic stories of three African American women played by Tiffany Terrell: Ida B. Wells, journalist and women’s suffrage activist; Sally Hemings, the slave with whom Thomas Jefferson fathered six children; and Shirley Chisholm, the first African American Congresswoman from New York and first African American woman to run for President. The title of the show derives from Shirley Chisholm’s memoir, “Unbought and Unbossed.”
The musical score features jazz, folk, popular and classical works by African American composers as interpreted by a cellist, pianist, and percussionist. Admission: $20, more if you can, less if you can’t. All welcome, no one turned away. Sponsored by ArtsFarmington. Free for UMF students. Youth 18 & under free through our Arts Inspire Youth program. Tickets at artsfarmington.org with a limited number available at the door. Contact: artsfarmingtonmedia@gmail.com.
