Visual presentations are a key vehicle to inform and convince others. Scholars present their research at conferences, and instructors present ideas in the classroom. In creating their visual presentations, most people need to rely on their taste or on pre-manufactured templates. Few people have had the opportunity to acquire the specific knowledge and skills to make presentations visually impactful, look professional, or just aesthetically pleasing. Participants will learn about fundamental design principles — such as contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity — and branding principles, such as consistency. They will also discover the century-old craft of typography that underlies all professional visual communication, learning about the difference between typefaces and fonts and suitable combinations of typefaces. Participants will learn about master and layout slides, which make it easy to reuse designs and ensure consistency across slides. After attending this workshop, scholars will have insights to create professional presentations that effectively capture attention and distinguish them from their peers.

All Together Now is an exhibition that speaks to human experience and community. The title of the exhibition references the music hall tradition of everyone joining in singing. Artists from new London, Windham, Tolland, and Middlesex counties in Connecticut and Washington County in Rhode Island were invited to submit two dimensional artworks which were reviewed by an exhibition committee. The twenty-eight selected artworks include drawing, mixed media, textile, painting, photography, and printmaking. For All Together Now Expressiones presents ARTVenture: Journeys in Creativity and Confidence, in which they proudly showcase their young artists' creative journey, featuring children ages 8 to 12. Under the guidance of their Artists-in-Residence—Toto Fernandez, Indira Urrutia, and Marc Hors—students have explored painting, drawing, and mixed media to discover and strengthen essential life skills: self-confidence, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Each piece in the exhibition reflects their process of exploration and growth, where art becomes a tool for self-awareness and resilience. The Alexey von Schlippe Gallery and Expressiones invite you to appreciate not only the beauty of their creations but also the transformative power of art in the holistic development of children in our community. Exhibition dates: May 9 – June 1, 2025 Gallery hours: Thursday-Sunday 12 – 4 pm
