Midnight Book Release Party

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I and II  
Saturday, July 30, 2016, 11:00PM
~ once in a lifetime ~

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne. It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The book will be officially released on July 30th at midnight, and we will celebrate in traditional butterbeer style. Reservations appreciated, and costumes encouraged.

Tim Herron: Landscapes on Location
Wednesday, August 3, 2016, 6:00PM

~ first Wednesdays ~
With little art backround in High School I had my first serious art class at Akron University where although I frustrated my teacher in my art development I found my true calling. Since I've studied at Cooper School of Art (Cleveland school now defuct) and then CIA. Not having much ability upon entering Cooper School of Art, I concentrated on learning the figure thru life drawing and figure painting. My primary teachers were Lois Vance, Anthony Schepis, and Jose Cintron. Over the past two years I've concentrated on landscapes done on location. Although painting from a photo would allow me to be more technically exact it would not show the struggle and process of creating an original piece of art which provides the looser, creative style. Many of the landscapes in this show took 7 to 12 visits of two hours each to complete. I have large portraits at Mac's Back's along with different locations in Tremont like Sokolowski's University Inn and Lilly's Chocolates. Although I will work from photos, I prefer direct observation. "Landscapes on Location" opens August 3rd and closes on September 4th, 2016
