Thirteen women (known as the Mercury 13) qualified for this program and passed all of the tests, only to have the program shut down by Congress. It was over 20 years later when America finally had a female astronaut. After the cancellation of the program, Funk continued to fly as a goodwill ambassador, taught over 3,000 students as a flight instructor, and was the first female to be an Air Safety Investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board. She has participated in several air races, appeared on various television and radio programs, and enjoys encouraging young people to get into aviation. Funk still hopes to get into space as part of the Virgin Galactic Space program.

Dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. with presentation and signing to follow.

Martha Cliffel: Re-Source-Full opening reception
Date: Oct 12, 2018
Time: 7-9pm
Location: BAYarts, 28795 Lake Road, Bay Village OH, 44140
BAYarts.net

This body of work deals with the detritus of life repurposed into provocative objects. Martha uses her time on the streets walking as an opportunity to trash pick and find value and beauty in the many discarded objects that have been part of other people's lives. Martha is an intuitive builder and gleans meaning from the juxtaposition of disparate and sometimes haunting objects. She combines her history as a mother and teacher with her innate abilities as an artist to subvert the natural purposes of the "starter" objects she finds. Her sculptures are both intentionally irreverent and holy at the same time.

Allison Polgar: Neighborhood Landscapes opening reception
Date: Oct 12, 2018 (Show October 12 - November 10, 2018)
Time: 7-9pm
Location: BAYarts, 28795 Lake Road, Bay Village OH, 44140
BAYarts.net

Allison Polgar's current work focuses on the transformation of neighborhood landscapes through the restructuring of residential housing. She explores these transforming landscapes by depicting their various components: man-made mountains of dirt that seem to rise overnight, skeletal building frames looming over spare deserts, and bruised construction barrels seemingly huddled in conversation with one another. Through her explorations she draws attention to the strange, often unnoticed, beauty and personality of these landscapes while also investigating the disruption that occurs when a specific brand of progress or revitalization is imposed upon an existing neighborhood.
