SUMMARY:Gilbert Klingel: Man of Steel
DESCRIPTION:Film Director/Producer Dave Miller to introduce his newest film project: “Gilbert Klingel: Man of Steel” on Tuesday\, March 7 at 7 pm at the Gwynn’s Island Civic League building. \nNext Tuesday there will be a special event at the Civic League building to preview the upcoming PBS documentary about the sailboat “Freya” project and Gwynn’s Island boatbuilder\, Gilbert Klingel.  Director/Producer Dave Miller will be there to show the film trailer and talk about this project.  The film will feature Gwynn’s Island and the legendary Gwynn’s Island Boat Yard built by Klingel in the early 1950’s.  It will tell the story about Gilbert’s life and works and the goal of bringing his steel hulled sailboat “Freya” back to the island where she was built in 1953.  This vessel will be available for future generations to learn from and enjoy.  When the boat arrives at the Gwynn’s Island Boat Yard in May\, we plan to have a celebration and would appreciate the ideas you may have on how to celebrate. \nLocal residents will appear in this documentary and our local museums\, the Mathews Maritime Foundation and the Gwynn’s Island Museum are supporting our efforts.  We hope you can join us on March 7 and see how you too can become involved.  You will be quite amazed at what we have achieved so far but we’ll need the help of everyone to make this film a big success. \nOther Chesapeake Bay films by Dave Miller include: Journey on the Chesapeake (2016) and Oysters\, Boats\, and Men (2013).

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Joe Allen\, Dead Man's Curve
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of new work by acclaimed Texas-based artist Joe Allen. Opening reception Saturday March 11\, 5-7PM. On view through March 31. \n#FFFHEX contemporary art gallery is pleased announce Dead Man’s Curve\, an upcoming solo exhibition of new work by acclaimed Texas-based artist Joe Allen. When shopping for art supplies\, Allen has been known to frequent the back alleys of lumber yards and auto parts stores\, selecting mixed-media materials ranging from battery cables to corrugated steel in order to create his 3-d objects. \nOne of Allen’s prints “Twilight Time” adopts the title of a fifties doo-wop song by the Platters. Pokemon computer game characters\, in concert with the Ghost of John Lennon\, bring a mysterious warning to earth. In other work\, Jim Morrison and other since-passed-on personalities also appear as “rock and roll clairvoyants coming to warn us” of possible impending doom. \nJoe Allen (born 1949\, Texas) has exhibited widely at venues including the Sharjah International Biennial\, Studio DTFU in Dallas\, the Santa Barbara Contemporary\, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. He was awarded a NEA-Mid-America Arts Alliance grant in 1994 which he used to purchase video editing equipment\, creating his first body of multi-media work. Allen’s art is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston\, McNeese State University\, and private collections in the United States and abroad. \nThere will be an opening reception for the public on Saturday\, March 11 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Dead Man’s Curve will be on view through March 31. #FFFHEX will have gallery hours Saturdays 2:00 to 5:00 PM for the duration of the exhibition\, and also welcomes appointments outside of posted hours.
