🎙 Post Podcast: Insurance Planning on planning for long-term care

<b>By BECKY KISER</b><br><i>Hays Post</i>

Three unique types of art will be highlighted at the newest exhibition opening Friday at the Hays Arts Center, 112 E. 11th.

"These are three Hays professionals who have been retired from what their other careers were but are still the most amazing artists," said Brenda Meder, executive director of the Hays Art Council.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Layered, Frayed and Appliqued" aptly describes the fiber art by Paulette VonLintel Karlin, that will be displayed in the Front Gallery.&nbsp;

Meder describes Karlin's work as not quilts, but "brilliant fabric collage upcycled from other things. Just stunning with beautiful color and textures and form. ... You can see her strong ties to Florida where she used to live."

The Hall Gallery will feature a mixed-media collage assemblage exhibition, "Time for Collage," by Cal Mahin, a local award-winning artist and former Colby schools art teacher.&nbsp;

Mahin, in his artist's statement said philosophical, symbolism and social statements are the dominant subjects in his current works, with some humor finding its way into the narrative.&nbsp;

A body of work by photographer and former Hays Arts Council board member Leon Staab, "Close to Home," will grace the walls of the Founders Gallery.

Staab lives in a loft in downtown Hays and his exhibit "Close to Home" features many photos from taken from a second story perspective.

"It's not all that but there will be a lot of rooftop photography," Meder said.&nbsp;

The opening reception is from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Feb. 28. The trio of exhibits will remain on display through April 16.&nbsp;
