Oh, those winter months. We all need help finding new ways to stay entertained — at least until March when the Film Festival rolls around! That's why we've asked Sari Feldman, Executive Director of the Cuyahoga County Public Library, and Clint O'Connor, Film Critic for The Plain Dealer, to join us for a night of book and film talk. We'll meet at Loganberry Books in Shaker Heights where these two experts will talk about their favorite winter reads coupled with their favorite winter flicks. We'll also have Gene's Jazz Hot on-hand to perform and help melt away those winter blues! Wine, hors d'oeuvres, and desserts will be served.

See the world through the eyes of two of Cleveland's most renowned photographers, Judith McMillan and Garie Waltzer. Judith McMillan's examination of plants using an X-ray machine as her camera brings to light an alternative view of reality that is both eerie and beautiful. In her latest work, Judith examines the collecting mentality while also marveling at the complexity of the architecture of birds' nests. Garie Waltzer, whose work has been included in numerous gallery and museum shows nationally,in publications, and in private, corporate, and museum collections, uses her beautifully crafted carbon pigmented inkjet images to explore the world through photographs of public gathering spaces as a collective narrative of our time. We'll gather at an exquisite east side home to listen to these two extraordinary photographers talk about their process for capturing their view of the world with the click of a camera. Wine, hors d'oeuvres, and desserts will be served. Special thanks to: Garie Waltzer Fine Art Photography Judith K. McMillan
