| January | Aditya Shingarpure | Paintings
| | February | Alisha Arneth | She has no particular method or technique, only a practice of surrender. She paints primarily with oils and acrylics. She likes to paint mostly abstract and surreal paintings with organic and cosmic symbols. These images are of an inner world, perhaps even on a subconscious level. Alisha integrates her artistic life with her holistic life as a reflexology practitioner in Durham, NC.
all the money from the artwork purchased goes directly to Mercy Corps (www.mercycorps.org) which sends money directly to the relief of the earthquake disaster in Haiti.
| | February | Art For Haiti | In the Side Room - Opening: Saturday, Feb 13, 2-6pm;
Closing: Saturday, Feb 27, 2-6pm.
This exhibition represents nearly 100 individual student responses to the disaster in Haiti. The advanced art classes at Chapel Hill and East Chapel Hill High Schools have put aside their regular projects for two weeks to make works for this exhibition. These works serve two purposes. First, they attempt to address ideas and feelings about the events in personal ways, confronting what is difficult to understand or to accept about what has happened. We often tell our students it is the artists responsibility to confront what challenges us, to express the inexpressible, and in this occassion the students will put this theory into practice. Second, the works will be offered for sale in order to raise money for the American Red Cross relief effort. Each work will be available to purchase for a donation of the buyers choice (suggested donations start at $10).

| | June | Duncan Morgan | Stencil-style portraits, each bringing with it a dose of global reality to our seemingly utopian community.
| | July | Matt Bachman | I am a 1998 graduate of UNC, where I majored in Broadcast Journalism. This collection of my photographs is titled The Carolinas. While most of these photos were taken in North Carolina, there are a few included from South Carolina as well. Edisto Island, St. Helena Island, Bald Head Island, and Wrightsville Beach are represented in the coastal shots. And while there are many photos taken locally here in Chapel Hill, the mountains are also represented in shots taken in Asheville, the Highlands, and on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
| | August | Brenda Marik- Schmidt | Self taught artist whose primary medium is acrylic on canvas. She does some work with watercolor and
mixed mediums. Brenda enjoys a broad range of subject matter. Many of her paintings fall in the middle ground between realism and abstraction. These paintings, which depict real subject matter, are done with abstraction, utilizing line, color, scale, form and shape.
Recently, Brenda has moved away from abstraction and has been creating paintings that are more real with subject matter that includes landscapes and people. A recent painting, Congo, which took 1st place in the juried exhibit Mosaic sponsored by Duke-Raleigh Hospital and the Visual Art Exchange has inspired Brenda to create a series of paintings depicting the people and life in the Congo. The exhibit is expected to be ready for show in 2011. The original painting, Congo is now hanging at Duke-Raleigh Hospital but can be seen on her blog, innerprints.org which is a conglomeration of works from a variety of artists.
Brenda is originally from Bucks County, Pa. She moved to Cary, North Carolina in 1997

My love for art grew as a child. I studied with the amazingly amazing Clyde Fowler at NCSA. I have always cherished Children's books and my work has come from this love.
Lately, I have been exploring many mediums and filling my house with drawings of Siamese twins and snails. My work can be describes as whimsical and sweet and has evolved so much in a years time.
