January Robert Cassanova: Dispatch from Vick-Benson Farm—A Visual Communiqué from the Family Farm Fred G. Bond Metro Park Community Center Monday, January 4-Monday, February 29 Artist Reception: January 22 | 6-8 p.m. Medium: Photography Robert Cassanova's black & white and color photographs of scenes from the family farm in Eastern North Carolina capture visions of picturesque old barns, weathered houses, and patterned landscapes. The rough, coarse textures of weathered, knotty wood siding and old doors beckon the viewer to recall farm life during the early 1900s. The slow collapse of these old wooden structures is a metaphor for the return of orderly, man-made structures to the complexity of natural decay.

Cary Arts Center Instructors: Synesthesia—Connecting the Senses Cary Arts Center, Principal's Hall Through Friday, January 22 Medium: Mixed Can you see sounds, smell colors, or taste shapes? This neurological phenomenon is known as synesthesia. Artists have been experimenting with synesthesia for centuries by enticing us to "connect" our senses when we see, smell, taste, touch, or hear. This exhibition invites us to participate in a "synesthetic experience"—to extend the horizon of our sensory perception through the complementary power of art and science.
