BRIDGES: Bob Halliday & Ted Wathen

Hite Galleries - Cressman Center

BRIDGES
Bob Halliday & Ted Wathen

July 23 – September 4, 2010

Reception: Friday, July 23, 5:30 p.m.

Louisville’s Ohio River bridges are the common subject of a series of paintings by Bob Halliday and photographs by Ted Wathen.  The subject of the bridges is also at the center of a larger debate in the city of Louisville and the surrounding region.  An art exhibition, inevitably, places aesthetic considerations front and center within the larger debate by prompting us to examine these structures for the qualities we seek from art:  forms that speak to us, reflect our aspirations, and enrich our experience.

Halliday and Wathen co-founded Marketing and Design Systems (a full service marketing & communications company) in 1982.  Halliday is retired.  Wathen, currently, operates his own business, Quadrant Photography.

The Cressman Center is at 100 E. Main St. (40204), First & Main, in downtown Louisville. 

In addition to the art gallery, the Cressman Center is home to the Hite Art Institute's Glass Studios, which are also accessible during gallery hours and host visiting artists in glass and several public demos and lectures each year. (Map of Hite locations.)

Gallery Hours:  W - F, 11 a.m.  - 6 p.m.;  Sat., 11 a.m.  - 3 p.m.; 1st Fri., 11 a.m. - 9  p.m.

Group Tours: school & other group tours should call Bruce Linn @ 502.852-0288 to make arrangements.
