NEW EXHIBITIONS AT AMFA
Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts (arkmfa.org) in Little Rock celebrates the opening of two new exhibitions in October. “Architects of Being” (Oct. 3 – Jan. 11) pairs the works of immigrant artists Louise Nevelson and Esphyr Slobodkina. Both were considered trailblazers of their time, setting out to become artists at the start of the Great Depression with influences of cubism, surrealism, and constructivism. Works include sculptures, mixed media reliefs, collages, paintings, jewelry, and clothing on display in the Harriet and Warren Stephens Family Gallery. “Uncommon Threads in Contemporary Art” (Oct. 25 – April 29) showcases works by artists who sew or otherwise incorporate fibers into their art, highlighting the overlap between fine art and traditional craft. Explore the exhibition in the Berta and John Baird Gallery.
