November 3-4, 2007 Get a head start on your holiday shopping! The Flint Institute of Arts and Founders Society are holding the 2nd annual winter art fair. Artists will present their unique hand crafted items with an emphasis on gift-giving. In general, price range is under $200. Booths will be set up inside the newly renovated museum. It's worth the trip just to enjoy the museum exhibitions.
September 7-October 5, 2007 A solo exhibit featuring mixed media wall journals. I find words very inspiring. Some of my pieces will be based on the poetry of my daughter, Mary Macey, as well as the book 'A Woman's Worth' by Marianne Williamson. Each piece is a creative interpretation of the prose and poetry I find so rich in meaning. Some words are so powerful, they need to be illuminated beyond just print. Measuring 2' x 4', my wall journals are painted and collaged on canvas with the addition of found objects that further enhance the significance of the words.
May 11-June 17, 2007 Works that reflect the concept of a woman's worth, inspired by the author Marianne Williamson and the contemporary song “A Woman’s Worth” by Alicia Keyes. The exhibition is a visual journey through the world of Collage, Assemblage, Altered Books and Found Object/ Art Jewelry, exploring the use of discarded and often overlooked objects as art, as seen through the eyes of collaborating, award winning artists, Donna Engstrom and Cheryl Strait. May 29-June 30, 2007 A joint mother-daughter exhibit featuring photography by Mary Macey and mixed media pieces by Donna J Engstrom. Mary's intriguing photographs encourage us to view the world in new ways. She uses her camera lens to capture people, places, and things with an insight and sensitivity all her own. Her photographs reflect the power of her vision and she has chosen to display a blend of unaltered and digitally altered photos for this exhibit. Donna is an award winning mixed media artist whose work has been published in books and magazines. Her work is in national and international collections. Donna’s work is a celebration of color and texture. Using her favorite media of paint and collage, Donna's work in this exhibit will be her abstract interpretation of Mary's photographs. Viewers will enjoy the range of Mary's photographs and Donna’s conceptual vision of them. June 9-10, 2007 Ranked in the top 80 of art fairs nationally in Sunshine Artist Magazine in 2002, the Flint Art Fair has been a summer destination for over 20,000 art lovers throughout the region for 38 years. Our Fair is presented by the Friends of Modern Art (FOMA), a fundraising auxiliary of the Flint Institute of Arts. Proceeds from the Art Fair help FOMA sponsor events such as the FOMA Film Series, exhibitions and the purchase of some wonderful examples of contemporary artwork for the Flint Institute of Arts.
