SAT-SUN SEPT 7-8 and WED SEPT 11: "Appropriate Response - Art in Wartime Exhibit" features Art in any media, at any artistic level, from any point of view: People regardless of artistic level or political viewpoint are encouraged to create art in any media to express themselves about war and related issues. Paloma Medina, the organizer, believes that art can be a tool for communities to deal with tragic events and the division and social conflict that occurs as a result of them. The major premise behind the exhibit is that art IS an appropriate response to war issues, because art has the ability to simultaneously be both political and personal, and in being so it can convey the complicated emotions and ideas of war to large audiences while acknowledging the humanity and individuality of each member of that audience, and of the artist. The organizers anticipate a variety of themes, including rights and privileges during wartime, connections between environmental, gender and racial issues and war or wartime; what it means to honor one's country; the role of dissent during wartime; and how tragic moments are dealt with historically

THURS OCT 10: "ALTERNATIVES TO A GIGANTIC JAIL" Thurston County is planning to build a gigantic new jail with 700 beds at a cost of $100 million - and that's just Phase I.
