Gallery owners Stormy Mochal and Con- nie Twining will host an artist’s reception for the opening of the exhibit on Friday, May 4, from 7 to 9 p.m. Beverages and A regular contributor to the Museum’s hors d’ oeuvres will be served. annual Holiday Art Auction, Beth Bird has become one of the area’s most pop- ular artists. The Outside the Lines exhi- bition will include Bird’s Cirque du So- leil series, which has never before been shown in its entirety.

Ceramic artist Paul Eshelman has cre- ated functional and refined pottery for eleven years in his family-operated stu- dio in Elizabeth, Illinois. The simple, el- egant forms of his work draw influence from Japanese and Chinese crafts, Euro- pean design and the utilitarian objects produced by American Shakers. Often in combinations of minimal, geometric forms with both glazed and unglazed surfaces, his pottery strikes a perfect balance between form and function.

Le Carnaval! will be on display through June, 2007. Outside the Lines Art Gallery is located at the corner of 4th and Bluff Streets, in historic Cable Car Square. For more information, call 563-583-9343, or visit www.otlag.com.

Now that the seasons have shifted and summer is in the air, the Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark is going to be resuming its music on the patio series. Imagine that: The food of the River Walk Restaurant paired with a gorgeous patio view of the Mississippi ... and live mu- sic, too. This was a favorite after-work activity of 365 staff last year, and it’s not hard to imagine why: What better way to unwind after a long day of work than by sitting out along the gorgeous riverfront, chatting with co-workers and maybe running into someone you haven’t seen in a while, all while sipping a cold pint Outdoor music on the patio begins this of Bud Light? month, and unlike last year’s Tuesday / Friday schedule, it will take place on Thursday and Saturday nights all summer long. We’ll be listing all the music at the River Walk right here in these pages of 365ink as soon as the schedules are announced, so stay tuned to 365ink and Dubuque365.com for more details.
