From contemporary prints to Native American culture to a compilation of YouTube videos, the Clay Center has art for everyone starting Saturday. Three new exhibits will offer a range of artistic styles and subjects in the Clay art gallery through April 7. They are:
* "Why Look at Animals?": Organized by the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, N.Y., it answers the title question with selections that will make you say, "They make us laugh," "They complete our families" and "They are beautiful." Both familiar and unfamiliar selections from this famous collection will allow visitors to study how photography has been used to tell the stories of animals over the years. This exhibit is sponsored by WesBanco.

Sometimes, however, the distinction between myth and religion is a bit fuzzy, and sometimes legend becomes a sort of catch-all euphemism, but the resource is careful to use (and tell how to pronounce) the Native tribal names and provides sufficient evidence that Native People contribute to contemporary American life in many ways. Sources include the excellent Carl Waldman works as well as biographical materials and coverage of history, religion, social issues, civil rights, economics, and education; all of these make the database a comprehensive collection. Other features include an occupation search within biographies, a key word search for legends by culture, related links in sidebars, and tabbed folders with key word hit lists that divide the search results into Biographies, Events...
