 A new exhibit at the Crossing Arts Alliance in Brainerdert is showing how a certain household furniture piece can be turned into a work of art. The Take a Seat exhibit shows different chairs that were donated by Habitat for Humanity and given to local artists to create a piece for the exhibit. More than a dozen chairs are featured and two of the artists say they felt inspired to take part in the project. I'm always participating in shows and stuff and this one's kind of a different one and kind of a fun little thing, pop-up thing and interesting topic, unique mediums and stuff. I just wanted to create a space with lots of depth and I started thinking about atmosphere and space and out of that just grew the whole space idea and next thing you know there were planets and spacemen and rocket ship and planetary map and galaxy and different things and it just the whole thing just fell together and that's that. The exhibit runs for a limited time. It begins tomorrow and goes through Saturday. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
