Things to do Tuesday: Art and science

ART EXHIBITS: You can see the work of four local artists between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Schmidt Art Center, Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville. “CODEX ISOM” by Ron Isom uses design, composition and symbolic contest to create esoteric connections to the universe. “A Moment in Time” by Stewart Halperin is a photographic journey of light, color, subject and movement that align to offer a moment unfolded. “Vertical Series” by Florin Hategan includes large-scale figurative prints of young adults who represent the struggle with identity and integration. “letting go, to seed” by Jessica White includes outdoor birdseed drawings that reflect the transience of nature and people. The exhibits continue through Oct. 15.
