Micro Museum is curating national visual artists in the 2^nd year of a 3-year program entitled BIG IDEAS. This highly conceptual theme was selected by Founding Artist Kathleen Laziza and captures the imagination of 4 distinct artists. Charles Printz Kopelson’s work represents lyrical expression, Debra Friedkin’s collage is fanciful, Melissa Moreno’s presents an energetic ink collage and Wanda Ewing’s visual series has refined humor (pictured above).

William and Kathleen Laziza host the opening event on June 27 from 8 – 11 PM along with exhibiting their own unique brand of interactive art, media installations, and visual elements. Their touch sensitive sculpture “LUMIANO” (lights up as it is played) will feature David Goldman as he “tickled the ivories” with American songbook music. Additional works available are Phone-i-ture, 3d TV, Blabbermouth, Pillowtalk, Weighing In, TouchLight Table, NY Chairs, The BIG Chair, Prepared Victrola. Videograph, Kissing Installation. Light Lines, Invaild TV plus video (SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION collection).

Visual Art exhibits are open every Saturday from 12 – 7 PM ($2). Vertical Penmanship is available for viewing June 27 – August 15 (will be closed July 4). Weekdays Micro Museum is a living art center focusing on performing arts, creative training, and more.
