John,

Thanks for all the additional info.  It helps to explain why we've had 
so many views of the prints.

Hi everyone:

I found the prospectus for the Bradley Show (Karen Kunc is the juror)
at  Manhattan Graphics Center today.  If you want to get one call:
309.677.2989 or the address is: Gallery Director, 29th Bradley National
Print and Drawing Exhibition, Bradley Univrsity, Heuser Art Center, 1400
Bradley Avenue, Peoria, IL 61625.  They don't have a website.
Good luck to everyone; it's usually a very good show.

I was in Evanston, Illinois last week but without my email notes to direct me 
to John Center's exhibit, and drew a total blank. But asked at the art supply 
store, was sent to the Alley Gallery, where I was forwarded to the Unicorn 
Cafe. Enjoyed the artwork, had to stand over some tea sipping, laptop sharing 
students to get to a couple of them. I really liked the multilayered, subtle 
currency patterns. Sorry not to have arranged a meeting with John. Glad to 
know that even Texas foriegners can find the show with the help of the 
friendly evanston populace!

Subject: [Baren 18386] Note from a 'lurker' ... 

Got a little note in this morning's mail that should be shared with the 
entire group ...

The note is from a printmaker in Quebec, Raymond Sander-Regier.  You can 
see his work on his website at:
