We’ll be joining Common Ground in a community gardens booth this weekend.

Topeka artist Justin Marable will showcase his interpretations of the Capital City at “Why ReThink,” a new exhibit 3-5 p.m. Saturday Dec. 19 at Lola’s Café.

Like 17th-century salonistes, home gallerists use the intimacy of their homes — or other people’s — to incite discussion and forge a deeper connection to the art.

Last weekend, two Chords & Oilers visited the Percolator in Lawrence to see a slideshow and a spray paint demo from the Black Sheep Art Collective.
