Eye-popping Bug Art June 7–July 21Unearthed, an art exhibit for children, features creepy-crawly creations in glass, art made from real bugs, and super-sized creatures that will infest your imagination. Diverse works by seven artists present a visual feast for the eyes – kids’ eyes. Art and labels hang a bit lower at this annual art exhibit for children, opening June 7 at the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery.

Be amazed by Hollywood’s go-to guy for insect training Steven Kutcher who uses bugs as moving paintbrushes to create masterpieces. Joan Danziger turns “icky” into beauty with large-scale glass and wire bug sculptures. Wait until you see Patrick Vincent’s quirky artworks that humanize the insect and fly carcasses used in Magnus Muhr’s drawings. Jennifer Angus also uses bug bodies to create Victorian-era wallpaper designs that will blow your mind. And be amazed by Leroy Mize’s mechanical grasshoppers and Dr. Barret Klein’s scientific illustrations.

This exhibit is made possible with support from the Sabatini Family Foundation.
