E.H. Mathis Gallery
“Life on Lake Michigan: Photographs from the Early 1900s” features large format pictures printed from digital scans of antique plate glass negatives held in the UW-Parkside Archives.

10:00 AM 4:00 PM Art Exhibition: 23rd Parkside National Small Print Exhibition
Fine Arts Gallery
After a three-year break, the Parkside National Small Print Exhibition is back! More than 100 prints from locally and nationally known artists are shown with copies of many available for purchase. This year’s exhibition gives print enthusiasts a different view—held as it is in the nearly 2,000-square-foot Fine Arts Gallery as opposed to the former, smaller UW-Parkside Arts Gallery—and more time to enjoy the prints with the exhibition running through July. Local artists include Dennis Bayuzick and Lisa Bigalke of Kenosha and Richard Berns of Racine. All but one of the pieces in this year’s exhibition are available for purchase. The university keeps 20% of the sale price for scholarships and programing for students.

7:00 PM 9:00 PM Mini Course: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Law of Attraction
Tallent 182
Begins May 6th. The movies “The Secret” and “What the Bleep Do We Know” introduced the concepts of the Law of Attraction to many people.  They are appealing, they are mystic, and they are hip.  But how do they actually work?  How can you have, be or do anything you desire?  This course will overview and define terms and explain inter-relationships described (mostly) in the Abraham-Hicks model of the Law of Attraction and address major questions about applying it to everyday life and explore a few tools to use in making desired changes in your life. Instructor: Laurie Swanson
