With skull art and motif now in the mainstream, this popular, macabre art genre comes to Lakeland Community College in a new exhibit, “ The Skull and Skeleton in Art III: Folk Art to Pop Culture, curated by Mary Urbas,” and runs through November 8 in the Gallery at Lakeland, building D, first floor.
An artist’s reception will be held on Thursday, October 24, from 7 – 9 p.m.
A Day of the Dead celebration will also be held from 6 – 9 p.m. Skull and skeleton-themed items such as T-shirts, jewelry, and folk art items will be on sale at the Boneyard Market from 6 – 9 p.m. that same evening.
Guests are encouraged to dress in Halloween costume as the evening event also coincides with Lakeland’s Halloween party in the Athletics and Fitness Center.
Sixty-four artists from Northeast Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Illinoi, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and California, will exhibit works featuring skulls and/or skeletons. The exhibit includes 305 works in a variety of media including: oil/acrylic/encaustic painting; textiles/fiber; printmaking; drawing; photography; digital art; sculpture; glass; wood; ceramics and ceramic sculpture; mixed media; assemblage art and jewelry.
The exhibition and artist reception are free and open to the public.
