MUST I PAINT YOU A PICTURE - presents the work of ten artists, recent graduates of a master's program in illustration. It includes painters, printmakers, comic artists, book illustrators, sculptors, and draftsmen. The influences on their work are as diverse as their techniques. Some have found inspiration in our environment - in the faces, places, and phenomena of New York City. Some draw on cultural heritage, combining it with personal experience to produce new insight. And some use narratives, both invented and borrowed, to create deceptively simple interpretive art. In all cases, the work bridges the diminishing divide between illustration and fine art, relying on fine art traditions for media, theme, or presentation, yet maintaining an emphasis on storytelling and communication. By treating fine art and illustration as complementary, we hope to broaden the scope of both genres, and in doing so ask, "must we paint you a picture?" -- Rachel Burgess
.

VISUAL VULNERABILITES: deals with the vulnerability inherent in every journey whether that journey is psychological, spiritual and physical.

Join the artists on October 16th for a lively and good-natured discussion on the how and why of their work and enjoy coffees, espresso, teas, juices, baked goods and vegetarian fare in this charming and comfortable environment.

5C CULTURAL CENTER AND 5C CAFÉ provides a stimulating, comfortable environment for community involvement in education, activism and the performing and visual arts. During the past ten years, 5C Cultural Center has sponsored over 1000 events including musicians, poets, playwrights, visual artists, photographers and social activists.

For non-vegetarians -- Enjoy a pre E32 Dinner Special at ALIAS restaurant, 76 Clinton Street, at the corner of Rivington. For dinner reservations call 212-505-5011 and mention E32. "…with a seasonally inspired menu emphasizing locally grown ingredients, Alias is coming into its own".--New York Magazine.
