Seeing Visions at Grindstone Studios

Join us at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27, for a very special evening at Grindstone Studios, Columbia's new art print studio.

Grindstone is a joint venture project run by Jeffrey Moore, Robert Friedman, Frank Stack and Byron Smith. Grindstone specializes in lithographic printing and has a library of prints from regional, national and international artists. Jeffrey Moore will talk about the lithographs while demonstrating the various stages in this painstaking process first invented in 1796.

The entire Seeing Visions evening will be at Grindstone Studios, which is next door to (north of) Orr Street Studios, in the same building as Missouri Contemporary Ballet, Dande Cafe and the Beach salon. 

See you there!

Orr Street Studios is located at 106 Orr St. in downtown Columbia, Mo. Join us every Tuesday evening during the academic year for literary readings and visual-arts presentations.
