Local artists Barbara Bernstein and Karen Kuff-Demicco will present a show
entitled “Encounters” at the Cooperative Gallery 213 on State Street in

primarily consists of sculptures in glass and clay that represent aspects
of the human figure.

Both artists feel that they 'encounter' a personality that emerges while
they were working on a piece.
They hope that those who come to the show will share that experience and
perhaps have an encounter of their own with the faces and figures
represented.
  Cost:
