Pastels, intarsia featured at gallery this month
Artists Lory Winford and Paul Nelson have their works featured at Hoosier Artist Gallery, 45 S. Jefferson St., during November.
Winford, a pastel artist, creates landscapes of the four seasons and the views around her Nashville home.
Nelson is an “intarsia” artist, one who makes a form of wood inlay developed in early Italy. His most satisfying projects are when the wood’s natural colors and grain patterns are apparent.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call the gallery at 812-988-6888.

Film, theater academy to open in February
BLOOMINGTON — Pigasus Pictures, an Indiana-based film company will open a film and theater academy in February. In partnership with the Pigasus, the Bloomington Playwrights Project, Cardinal Stage and Cook Group, the Bloomington Academy of Film and Theatre will offer professional training in all disciplines of entertainment including filmmaking, acting for stage, acting for camera, musical theater, improvisation and dance.
Training will be for all ages and levels of experience and also will include professional development courses for business, like executive presence and public speaking. Workshops will be conducted with prominent actors and casting directors from across the country. The academy will operate year-round, including weeklong summer workshops for which the academy hopes to draw students from all over the state and region.
“There are a lot of really skilled and talented people in Indiana,” says John Armstrong, COO of Pigasus and executive director of the academy. “A large part of our work is simply connecting dots and creating new opportunities. By working with the BPP, Cardinal, and Cook on the academy, we can create something collectively that none of us could do on our own.”
The academy will primarily operate out of a newly constructed sound stage downtown at 411 E. Seventh St., two blocks north of Kirkwood. The facility will be outfitted with film production equipment, which will also be available for rental on a limited basis. Construction for the sound stage is underway and classes will begin in February 2019.
