The MAD Museum (Museum of Arts and Design) Manhattan

Hello ladies and happy new year! I recently went to the MAD Museum in Columbus Circle, Manhattan, and there are 2 ... well 3 actually, 2 fiber oriented ... exhibits happening that are worth seeing!

There is "Eat Drink and Design" a selection of artists ceramics.  Including a piece by Cindy Sherman - an artist I've become familiar with due to her work as a photographer. This exhibit ENDS February 13th

another imminent exhibit:

"Think Again: New African American Jewelry" this exhibit is only up until February 27th 2011 so if you can get to Manhattan I'd highly recommend it ! There are some truly inspirational pieces! As well as the permanent Jewelry Collection that the MAD museum has.

As well, "The Global Africa Project" - http://collections.madmuseum.org/html/exhibitions/508.html

 a traveling exhibition, has in it's collection some personal favorites of mine, Nick Cave, Joyce Scott and Missoni among other painters, muralists, graphic designers, sculptors ... etc.  

So if you have the chance I would urge you to get down to Manhattan.  Thankfully the Global Africa Project will last until May and it was my most favorite!
