Inspired by Place: The Illustrations of ARD HOYT and Cara Armstrong 11/06/2009 - 01/03/2010

Inspired by Place: The Illustrations of ARD HOYT and Cara Armstrong presents artwork by two children’s book illustrators who celebrate the people and places that make us feel at home. Ranging from a dog’s-eye-view of Frank Lloyd Wright’s residential masterwork Fallingwater, to a little boy’s dreamtime swim with manatees through his home, the artwork in the exhibition represents both the imaginative fantasy and emotional warmth that characterizes the best work in children’s literature.

Inspired by Place is the first gallery exhibition for both Hoyt and Armstrong and will include videotaped interviews with both artists.

CRYSTAL BRIDGES: A special preview and reception of "Inspired by Place: Illustrations by ARD HOYT and Cara Armstrong" will take place from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday at Crystal Bridges at the Massey, 125 West Central Avenue. A discussion with the artists will take place prior to the event at 5:30 pm at the Bentonville Public Library. The collection will be displayed through Jan 3. Gallery hours are from 10 am to 5 pm Thursdays to Saturdays, 1-5 pm Sundays. For details, visit massey.crystalbridges.org or call 418-5700.
