Next week's pot starts at $20 with 50 cards left in the deck and the Queen of Spades, four fives and four tens still in hiding.

Today’s Program:
Rafael Salas – The Ripon College Art Department

Rafael Francisco Salas, Assistant Professor of Art and Chair of the Ripon College Art Department, was our program speaker.

Professor Salas presented a slide show featuring an eclectic assortment of art which has been created by Ripon College faculty, students and featured guest artists.

Ripon College Art Department faculty members Molly Oblinger, Lee Shippey and Rafael Salas, as well as Art Historian Travis Nygaard each had works showcased in the presentation. We viewed examples of contemporary trends in art, figure drawing, Mayan and South American subject matter and much more.

We learned that art can tell us many things, including allowing us to interpret cultures based on the time and place the art was created, as well as the subject matter.

Professor Salas invited us to experience the photographic artistry of Lacey Criswell and Amanda Hankerson, on display through Friday, April 29 in the Caestecker Art Gallery at the C.J. Rodman Center for the Arts.
