Contempo: Pushing The Limit On Art
January
The 34-piece exhibit is joined by two other openings this week: "Bra-Vo!," a collection of artfully handmade bras, and "The Art of Film," featuring artists who create pieces with film, not on film - finding more use in the medium as sculpture material than something to run through a camera. On the final day of "Bra-Vo!," the bras will be auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting breast cancer research. This may not be Victoria's Secret material, but hey - it's for a good cause. The three exhibits are free, open to the public from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and run through February 11.
