ART OPENING - FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 6PM

EXQUISITE CORPSE: FEMME FATALE

From the Museum's collection

EXQUISITE CORPSE: Femme Fatale

This exhibition showcases a part of the Women's Museum's costume collection in an innovative way. Using 4 articles of historical clothing, the artists have an opportunity to work with the Surrealist's concept of the Exquisite Corpse in a contemporary format. The result is a thoughtful educational experience that examines how "clothing makes the woman" in more ways than one.

Art by Linda Churchill, Leah Intravaia Younker, Lynn Schuette and Cindy Zimmerman

Curated by Carol McCusker

Artist's Opening Reception: 6 - 9pm

Exhibit runs through April 2nd. Go here for more info
