Evolving brings together NAC's Co-op Artists and Associate Artists together in this eclectic group show. As the title suggests, the exhibit is an opportunity for each artist to show where they are in an artistic sense, how their style and choice of media has developed through the years and how these artists influence each other’s work. Showcasing a variety of media and personal vision, Evolving also testifies to the solidarity of the community among artists themselves.

Opening receptions at the NAC Gallery are 7-9 PM and free to the public with refreshments and an opportunity to meet the artists.  Don't forget to walk over next door to NAC Gallery Too! on 64 Broadway, where the work of local artists is always on exhibit and ready to be sold right off the wall (or pedestal...or jewelry counter...whatever the case may be).

NCC presents:

The Girl Who Played With Fire

Donald L. Oat Theater
62 Broadway, Norwich CT 06360
860-887-2789

Saturday, August 14
Film starts at 7:30 PM, tickets $7

If you caught the Norwich Community Cinema’s screening of the wildly successful mystery-thriller The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo this past May, you won’t want to miss its highly anticipated sequel The Girl Who Played With Fire this summer.  The second installment of the adventures of rogue journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and anti-heroine hacker Lisabeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) is also based on the now-popular novel series by Swedish writer Stieg Larsson.

Directed this time by Daniel Alfredson, the film follows Mikael and Lisabeth as they cross paths while investigating a sex-trafficking ring.  Lisabeth also falls under suspicion of three murders, causing her to go on the run while Mikeal races the clock to clear her name.

For a further synopsis of the film, visit the NCC’s website.

Every second Saturday, the NCC will be screening a different film in the Donald L. Oat Theater. They also present a different foreign film every fourth Monday at NFA’s Frank Center.
