Last Friday evening I attended my first art exhibit "opening" at the Krasl Art Center. The exhibit was "Art in the 'Toon Age," which featured artwork done by more than thirty artists, spanning three generations—from seven countries. All thirty-two artists were clearly imspired by comics graphics. They have used their own style of "comic art" to raise commercial art up to a fine art. This traveling show is owned by the Kresge Art Museum, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan.
The place was jammed. The food was great, the work was fabulous, the wine (Tabor Hill) was delish, and my husband hated the exhibit. But then, he is 20 years older than me, and European. His idea of art still don't include comics. And he isn't convinced about graphic novels either. But I have to tell you that this show is fabulous! Do try to see it before it closes on Dec 31.
The next opening will be for the Member Show on January 18 from 5:30-7:30 pm and I hope to see you all here. This is a great time to become a member and submit your work.
