Paperhand Puppet  Exhibit Coming in April Paperhand uses diverse styles of puppetry and artistic expression to create works that inspire and promote social change, connecting audience and puppets in a deeply rewarding  experience. They tell stories, beat drums, sew cloth, get sweaty, push boundaries and carry heavy things to help make the world a better place.  Following performances for local students through the Project Impact program,  the puppets will be on display at HCA for the public to see and learn more about Paperhand's mission.  Their parades, pageants, and award-winning performances are an inspiration, a call to action, and a celebration for all ages to enjoy! QUANTA: An Exhibit by Dave Levick May 1-29 This exhibit studies the patterns of organic energy (light) and crystalline shapes defined by wave and field boundaries of the naturally occurring fractions of the cube & sphere.  A special presentation and field trips for students are being planned.
