Painter Michael Kareken finds beauty in the organic chaos of discarded paper, bottles and junked cars. Tiny prints of invertebrates bound on tiny pages are part of “Small Orders”, the latest collection of work by Book Artist Jody Williams. Rogue Valley performs “Red River of the North” from their first in a series of 4 albums about changing seasons. Plus: The costumes of Ethnic Dance Theater and body percussion group Crash perform.
