  • Inside the Artists’ Studios: Small-Scale Views at Bruce Museum, through Sunday March 9. “Have you ever wished you could spy on artists engaged in the process of creation? Be a fly on the wall of their studios?  Come see Inside the Artists’ Studios: Small-Scale Views, celebrating a three-decade long Bruce Museum holiday tradition, an exhibition of “small scale” constructions – in this case, artists looking at artists. Exhibited are works that spotlight the artists’ individual investigations and analyses of the creative process in three-dimensional miniature constructions as well as in painting, printmaking, and photography.”
  • Oysters, Pearls of Long Island Sound at Bruce Museum, through March 23. Found in estuaries around the world, oysters are a favored delicacy for humans and play a valuable role in ecosystems and economies. These unassuming mollusks have sustained Native Americans, cleaned polluted harbors, provided critical habitat, and created waterside cultures.
