She uses installation, photographic prints and sculpture to construct a series of object-landscape scenographies to make visible how and why an object creates a spatial void in a landscape. Art Institute and Gallery The Art Institute and Galler y will also be opening a brand new exhibition, the 2015  Photography Show.  Works from area photographers will be on display, and judged by Carl Goldhagen.   In addition, the solo exhibition of Scott Kasden | Photography on Metal will be on display in the Foyer Gallery.  The AIG is located on the lower level of the Gallery Building off the Plaza.      Jam out this 3rd Friday with the UMES Jazz Ensemble at SWAC!  The Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council  will be hosting a Jazz & Pop Jam Session in the SWAC Arts Space, featuring theUMES Jazz Ensemble!  The UMES Jazz Ensemble has traveled all over the county, and even the world, and has performed with some of the most famous Jazz names in the industry.  Listen to live music, or bring your instrument and jam out!
