Birmingham Public Library Central Gallery	April 10-May 12 Para Siempre (Forever) By Studio By The Tracks The artists featured in this exhibition create works weekly at Studio By The Tracks, a non-profit art studio that offers free art lessons to special needs adults and at-risk youth. The artists have been experimenting with shifting scale and mixed media. With their unique and idiosyncratic perception, they offer dynamic and sophisticated visions into a rich world of imagination and invention.

July 1-August 11 Mekong Jitney: Chris Lawson, Merrilee Challiss, Leng Seckon and Doug Baulos Three Birmingham-based artists plan to visit Cambodia in late March, principally Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat, to create collaborative works and to collaborate with leading contemporary Cambodian artist, Leng Seckon. The artists, who all work in a range of media, will create most of the exhibition during their residency in Cambodia. The title of the show and the works will reflect the objects and experiences they encounter.
