ST. JOSEPH, Mich. -- "Work at Hand," a documentary film about the painter Michael K. Paxton will be shown at 7 p.m. on May 23 at the Box Factory for the Arts.

A $5 donation to the Box Factory is requested to attend the screening. Drinks will be available for purchase at the Box Factory Bar and there will be an artist's talk following the screening. 

“Work at Hand” chronicles the life of the artist Michael K. Paxton. From his humble beginnings in the hills of West Virginia to his time as an art student at Marshall University in the gritty industrial town of Huntington, Michael dove into the mosh pit of experimentation and free expression while working jobs at factories, on the railroad, and as a newspaper printer. Later, his battle to overcome stage 4 cancer would become an integral part of his story.
