Happy May!...the lusty month of May!...(from Camelot's "The Lusty Month of May)...May brings spring flowers and things in bloom...and, celebrating new things, here are some new exhibits opening in the big apple which will certainly inspire and help your creative spirit to bloom. Now showing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: The drawings of Richard Serra, the sculpture of Anthony Caro up on the rooftop sculpture garden, and the great lusty and edgy fashions of Alexander McQueen at the Costume Institute. Check them all out, particularly the Alexander McQueen exhibit which has welcomed 43,000 visitors in its first week alone! For more info, visit www.metmuseum.org.
Also opening at the Morgan Library in New York are three exhibits: Fashion in the medieval ages as illustrated in the Book of Hours, medieval and Renaissance manuscripts with some recreated garments from these time periods, the drawings of Jim Dine, the Glypotek Drawings and some selections from their permanent collections. For more info, go to www.themorgan.org.
Now showing nationally, is the "Artist's Books Cornucopia" exhibit at the Abecedarian Gallery in Denver, Co. Alicia Bailey's annual presentation of artist's books always serves up a lusty selection of exquisitry culled from national and international book artists.

Another great exhibit of artists' book is "The Illustrated Accordion" at the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center in Kalamazoo, MI.

Fun, fun, fun...what a perfect book to submit for this exhibit.
And, just one more great exhibit at the Susan Hensel Gallery in Minneapolis, MN..."Ars Domestica" where mending circles with tales and mending are combined to create a performance piece and exhibit. Go to www.susanhenselgallery.com for more info!
