Brookfield Craft Center is excited to present this exhibit, sponsored by Reid & Riege Attorneys. The exhibition is a colaboration with City Lights Gallery of Bridgeport.
The exhibition runs through August 28th, is a sampler of fiber art and responses to important relevant issues of our times. The material and color, soft and ‘pretty’, comfort. The content provokes. As the saying goes, “Art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.”
Brookfield Craft Center is pleased to welcome Suzanne Kachmar the Executive Director of City Lights Gallery in Bridgeport as a guest curator for this exciting show. The intention of this exhibit according to Suzanne, “is to put as much hot topic content as possible in one room and see how it co-exists. In the recent past as we contended with the double pandemic, some have chosen to cancel, unfriend, shutdown and retreat. But the mess and the issues are still here.” This exhibit invites the viewer to get back into the mess, get comfortable living with the diverse challenges and find a way to navigate through it.
Exhibiting artists include; Carlos Bautista Biernnay, Darron Copeland, Iyaba Ibo Mandingo, Ruben Marroquin, Sooo-z Mastropietro, Ellen Schinderman, Scott Schuldt, Rita Valley, Joan Wheeler, installed by Scott Schuldt.
Join us at a reception in the Lynn Tendler Bignell Gallery to meet the artists and curator and to view the work on Saturday, August 13th from 4:00 - 7:00PM.
