Explore a new thematic installation by Donna Castellanos that brings the inside out, and the outside in. For each piece in this exhibition, everyday objects have evolved into new assemblages. Look closely and you'll find denim jeans, antique books, old computers equipment , soccer balls and more, all transformed into a new light. Step inside and consider how these familiar objects have been turned inside out and outside in.

Vistors are also invited to explore their own creativity in a community interactive area. By using vintage typewriters, guests may contribute memories, stories and insights into a shared collection of handmade books that become part of the exhibiton.
This exhibit is sponsered by Pinot's Palette.

Schoenherr Art Gallery is in the Wentz Gallery Hall and Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville, IL, 60540. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The first musical written by three-time Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County), "Songs for a New World" weaves stories and history together, illuminating the timelessness of self-discovery. Each piece in this modern song cycle is a glimpse into the life of a different character and an instance when they realize something new about themselves, seemingly find a whole new world to explore. Through the score, which blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz music and features many intricate harmonies, "Songs for a New World" transports its audience from the deck of a sailing ship bound for a new land to the ledge of a New York penthouse, among many other fantastical locations. With its timeless theme and compelling music, this musical can be enjoyed by all ages and inspires its audience to look within themselves.
