Spring Season Opening Reception!

Mark your calendar: Next Friday, February 18, is a “you don’t want to kick yourself for missing this” evening here at the ASU Art Museum and Ceramics Research Center.

From 7 to 9 p.m., we’ll be celebrating the official opening of four shows: Collecting Contemporary Art: the FUNd at ASU; Re-Thinking the Faculty Exhibition 2011; It’s not just black and white: Gregory Sale — Social Studies Project 6; and Citadel, an installation by Phoenix artist Patricia Sannit at the CRC.

Before the reception, from 6 to 7 p.m., guest curator Robert Atkins will give a special preview tour of the faculty exhibition at the Museum; a silent auction to raise funds for the CRC also begins at 6.

And starting at 7, artist Angela Ellsworth and the “sister wives” will present a performance titled “Where the Skies Are Blue.” It’s the first time in the Valley that audiences will have a chance to see the work that has brought Ellsworth so much recent acclaim in the U.S. and in Australia, and deservedly so:  These performances are spell-binding.

See you there!
