 Bluffton University’s Grace Albrecht Gallery will host the art exhibit “Otherworldland” by Justin Henry Miller beginning Oct. 25.

The show features work created by Miller over the past five years in a diverse range of mediums including drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media and small sculpture. Aesthetically, Miller’s artwork can best be described as surreal as it references, but bends, reality. Conceptually, the work delves into his interest in the closing gap between science fiction and science fact.

The Bluffton Senior Citizens Center makes and sells peanut brittle as its largest fundraiser of the year. After a year off in 2020, organizers need volunteers to assist on Mondays Nov 1-22. Read related story.

By Tonya Meyer, Bluffton Senior Center

Peanut Brittle making will start Monday, November 1 at 8 a.m. and continue every Monday thru November 22. We need at least 30 volunteers to make the candy and some of our volunteers from two years ago are no longer able to help.

We are looking for NEW PEOPLE to come and help. Please let Tonya or Roger Edwards know if you are able to help even if only for one week. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We missed it last year. We hope to make up for it this year.
