The Contemporary Arts Center (900 Camp Street) will host the evening’s open reception and party from 6p.m. – midnight. Admission is free for CAC members and ony $10 for general admission. The evening’s attire is casual to chic and comfortable shoes are advised. Earlier that afternoon, from 4-6p.m., will be the chance to experience Pippin Frisbie-Calder’s Canceled Edition, a site-specific installation featuring 1,028 hand-carved, woodcut, hand-painted prints of Ivory Billed Woodpeckers.
