Join The Forum's Arts and Culture Peer Circle and featured artists Leah Kaplan and Elizabeth Hamilton for Bespoke Matter, an exciting decorative arts exhibition produced by InLiquid.
Decorative arts have been an intrinsic part of the human experience. Across cultures and time, people have felt a deep desire to embellish the spaces they inhabit to tell stories, assert identity, and infuse interiors with life. At the heart of decorative art lies craftsmanship and functionality: the intersection where artists and makers create everyday objects that are visually enthralling and serve a purpose. In Bespoke Matter, five artists challenge and expand these definitions; they explore traditional decorative arts through untraditional lenses. Their work poses a compelling question: What happens when an object is no longer functional? Including pieces representing furniture, wallpaper, decorative plates, porcelain vessels, and tapestry, Philadelphia-based artists Sophie Glenn, Leslie A. Grossman, Elizabeth Hamilton, Leah Kaplan, and Lisa Marie Patzer push the boundaries of craft, decorative arts, and traditional mediums.
Light refreshments will be served.
Tickets are $15 each. This event is open to Forum members, sponsors, and guests.
