Works by the Chesapeake Woodturners
November 10 – December 18, 2009
The Chesapeake Woodturners present lathe-turned works in foreign and domestic woods, functional and decorative, small and large. Work at the lathe brings the endless challenge of revealing the distinctive beauty of wood in what may have begun as a battered storm-damaged tree across the street or a gnarled root burl from a distant country.
Founded in 1992 to promote woodturning in the Annapolis region, the Chesapeake Woodturners sponsor skill-building workshops, public demonstrations of their craft, and a network for intechange and expansion of members' skills and ideas.
Please call 410-626-2548 for library hours or visit the College website www.stjohnscollege.edu. Free and open to the public.
Funding and support for this exhibition is provided by the Lillian Vanous Nutt Mitchell Gallery Endowment.

The Camera’s Muse: Photographic Portraits from the Collection of Robert M. Infarinato
November 1 - December 17, 2009
During the early 20th-century, the artistic merit of photography was fiercely debated. This collection, on loan from Robert Infarinato, includes photographs by masters such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Ruth Bernhard, and Edward Steichen. The collection’s emphasis is on portraits of subjects in all kinds of settings, from formal “seated” portraits to candid “situational” shots. The portraits encourage a greater understanding of what is revealed through the photographer’s lens, and a thoughtful examination of prints that were instrumental in pioneering this new medium.

Part I: Annapolis actor, writer, and musician Tim King, and musician John Starr will give an exhibit-related presentation at 2:30 p.m. Part II: Art educator Lucinda Edinberg will introduce collector Robert Infarinato and co-lead a tour of The Camera’s Muse followed by a hands-on workshop from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

This exhibition from the Syracuse University Art Collection includes the romantic works of William Adolphe Bouguereau and Jean-Leon Gérôme, Conrad Kiesel, an artist often linked with the Pre-Raphaelites, and the luminous palette of Rudolph Ernst and other European artists whose works reflect the best of these ideals.

The Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci
October 30 to December 15
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) made contributions of the highest magnitude to the fundamental principles of mechanics. His insatiable curiosity about natural phenomenon guided his explorations and inspired him to create the inventions that are actualized in this exhibition of 16 models from The Exhibition Alliance. These models, built in the 1950s by IBM Corporation technicians, bring Leonardo's visionary concepts of physics, mechanics, and art to life. They offer insight onto the principles of inertia and the concepts Leonardo used for his flying machines, spring-driven car, printing press, military tank, and other mechanical devices and measuring tools that are in common use today, more than 500 years after he imagined them.
