Voila!

Looking for a quick and enriching day trip? The valley of the sun has some interesting art offerings this month.

The Phoenix Art Museum's current exhibits are: an Ansel Adams exhibit, an exhibit of Southeast Asian textiles, an exhibit of contemporary Yixing teapots, and an installation of the late Geoffrey Beene called Trapeze.

"Geoffrey Beene: Trapeze, a whimsical exhibition that goes beyond the study of dressmaking into the world of conceptual art."

This exhibition of Geoffrey Beene's work at the Phoenix Art Museum, showing one of a kind garments, draws on inspiration from Beene's love of the circus with the use of dots and stripes.

"Featuring more than 30 garments, Geoffrey Beene: Trapeze profiles the fanciful custom-made wardrobe of Patsy Tarr, a prominent supporter of dance in New York and founder and publisher of the award-winning 2wice magazine."

The world of high fashion as sculpture is only a 2 hour drive! What a great way to spend a rainy day in Phoenix. See you there!
