"Currently, Lil is packing for a trip to New Zealand, where she has been studying the Maori art of intimidation," says Galerie Bohème host Tom Rudd. "Lil is a good friend, and after some arm twisting (on my part) and stressing (on her part) sent me a suite of prints to show at the Bohème. So, come on by this Friday from 6:30 to 9 and check them out. They are very collectible. Also you can have a plastic cuppa and a crumpet, and visit with friends while you enjoy the artworks."

Cross Country Sports: Photography by Jeremy Rowe
For the month of November, Cross Country Sports will feature work by Jeremy Rowe of Keweenaw Night Sky Photography. Jeremy uses long-exposure photography to capture spectacular views of the Northern Lights and landscapes of favorite places along the north shore of the Keweenaw, where he spends a lot of time monitoring the skies.
The images are processed onto specially coated aluminum sheets with dyes that are infused directly into the surface, adding a breathtaking luminescence as well as durability. In addition to his metal prints, Jeremy will show time-lapse videos of some of his favorite night sky scenes, set to original music which he composes and produces. 2015 calendars featuring some of his best photos of the year will be available in mid-November. Enjoy an open house and refreshments and meet the artist from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7, at 507 Oak Street. For more information call 337-4520.
