CONCERTS @CAM The Malpass Brothers - Traditional Country & Western
Thursday, Oct. 27, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM We are so pleased to welcome the Malpass Brothers for the first time. Classic, real country performed with sincerity, honesty and an utter ease on stage that belies their years. Christopher and Taylor Malpass smooth vocal blend and skillful musicianship layer infectiously into the deep respect they pay to legends who have paved the way. Add the funny, off-the-cuff quips between the two 20-something siblings, and the engaging concert becomes a magnetic time-traveling journey to when a calmer rhythm reigned supreme. This is music steeped in the legacy of the Louvin Brothers, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Sr. and others.

EXHIBITION UnBound Narrative
August 13, 2016 - January 15, 2017 The book, in its essence, is simply marked sheets of paper bound together between two covers. Yet it represents our desire and need to document, communicate, and understand the depths of human existence. UnBound Narrative investigates the work of nine contemporary artists who utilize the book as inspiration and source material - questioning the connections between form, text and image to create their visual narrative, creating new relationships, interpretations and meaning, ultimately altering our conception of what a book can be.
