Written by Albert Hong, Posted in Art, Arts & Entertainment
“Keep the Home Fires Burning,” an exhibition featuring the work of Shelley Spector, opened at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on March 7. A longtime local artist and teacher at the University of the Arts, Spector’s first solo museum exhibition shows off her collection of sculptural works created with salvaged materials like second-hand clothing and furniture, all inspired by the museum’s collection of textiles.
Spector will also be hosting workshops in April, May and June, where patrons will get a chance to contribute to the show’s artwork by creating textile tomatoes.
