    Join us First Friday, September 4 from 5pm-8pm for the opening reception of recent work by Greg Block. The exhibition continues through September 25. Greg Block's machines are an exploration of the evolutionary and biological relationship between humans and technology. The result is a provocative exhibition of marvelous machines, unexpected diagrams and luscious paintings. Somewhat of a hybrid between Rube Goldberg, Da Vinci, and a vegetarian Soutine. Opening night features live music on the dock and machine demonstrations by the artist. Greg Block will also teach a two-day workshop on PHOTOVOLTAIC ART LANTERNS September 26 & 27 as a part of our B.I.G. Idea Workshops program. Get hands-on experience with photovoltaics to make your own solar powered lantern! Just $120 for this two-day workshop, including supplies. Visit our website or call the gallery to register. A full description of the B.I.G. Idea Workshops program can be found at www.smokebrush.org. Link to more information on our website: www.smokebrush.org .
