Fiber Show opportunity; new work by Michael Kessler

The Muskegon Museum of Art announces a call for entries for Extreme Fibers: Textile Icons and the New Edge, a two-part exhibition that will feature artwork from established and emerging textile artists from around the world. Deadline Nov. 14. More info here.

Painter Michael Kessler is working on a new series of works on paper that are truly stunning. From his recent blog post, he writes "Being a painter is really like being an alchemist. Alchemy is transforming lead into gold and painting is transforming base materials into art. The key word is transformation." Read/see more here.
