The Sauder Visual Arts Center Grace Albrecht Gallery is currently exhibiting work by Justin Johnson, who explains, “My subject matter comes from news feeds and photographic sources from the front lines. I have distilled these compositions to their most simple forms… They are lamentations that describe tragedy through abstraction.” The exhibit runs through October 5 when a closing reception will be held from 10:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging businesses to decorate the Bluffton downtown area with a scarecrow theme beginning the first week of October.

Why is Pain Awareness Important?
With an increased focus on pain awareness this month, pain management care team members are dedicated to educating the community on the impact of chronic pain. The purpose of highlighting pain awareness is to instill a greater understanding among healthcare professionals, individuals, and families who are struggling with pain management. The same applies to the business community, legislators, and the general public, as pain is a serious public health issue.
