This type of art is basi- cally decorative but may encourage creative interpreta- tions in the mind of those who view them. More than 150 paintings are included in this show, which COURTESY PHOTO Artwork by Bob Hefty runs until July 30. Some free paintings will be available on a first-come, first- served basis.

COM /S IUSLAW N EWS SEAcoast announces 2016-17 lineup “Since its beginning 36 years ago, SEA has brought top quality performers to Florence audiences,” said Linda Gargis, SEA board vice-president. “This upcoming season contin- ues that tradition. We have seven fantastic shows, includ- ing midweek concerts, plus a new ‘Dinner and a Show’ pack- age available for season ticket holders.” In the new season, four of SEA's concerts will be held on Wednesday nights with a nod to the increased weekend demands in the Florence com- munity. “SEA is a big supporter of the Florence Events Center,” said Gargis. “By scheduling Wednesday shows, we are not only helping keep the FEC active midweek, we were able to book several acts that would have been unavailable on weekends due to scheduling, travel issues and cost.” The season opens Denture Services, Inc.

SEA is providing Florence fans of brass with a much- needed dose of energy with the Dallas Brass on Wednesday, March 29, 2017, at 7 p.m. The quintet masters all aspects of the brass repertoire: classical, Dixieland, swing, show tunes and more as they provide a musical travelogue through American instrumental history. On Wednesday, April 26, 2017, at 7 p.m., SEA presents “Barrage 8,” a high-energy dose of modern string instru- ments and movement. Their innovative stage performance blends wonderfully with their musical talent - and strings like you have never heard them before.
