Kitchen Dreams
April 14 - Sept 2, 2012

Step into a comical world of 1950’s pop culture with Ricky Bernstein’s Kitchen Dreams.  Using glass, aluminum and childhood memories, artist Ricky Bernstein pieces together everyday life through a caricature of social roles and cultural icons.  Bernstein’s life-sized collages animate a bold, bright, somewhat surreal world, bound to bring you a good belly laugh.

Saturday, April 14th,10:30am

Meet Ricky Bernstein and hear how childhood memories inspire his wacky caricatures in glass.
