DOT DAY EXHIBITION
On view September 2-November 4
An invitational group exhibition celebrating International Dot Day, this presentation is a labor of love for the Waterloo Center for the Arts and collaborating entities. It is a tribute to North Tama vocal music educator Terry Shay and his wife Ellen Shay and the gifted citizens of the Cedar Valley who provided their own “dots” to the exhibition. All abilities, all ages, all interpretations, and all media were welcome in our call for artists. We hope you will be inspired by Waterloo’s own celebration of creativity and courage.

SELECTIONS FROM THE CARIBBEAN COLLECTION
Ongoing
Artworks on display are from Caribbean Island countries as well as from the neighboring countries that surround the Caribbean Sea in South America and Central America. In these locations as well as in the artwork produced there, connections, similarities and transfer of tradition are plentiful. Yorba, Ewe, and Congo art forms from Africa mingle with English, Spanish and French traditions from Europe as well as with Taino, Aztec and other cultural customs from indigenous traditions in Latin America. We hope that this inspiring mixture of artwork will provoke dialog and lead to greater understanding globally and locally.
