Currently on display at the Taube Museum of Art is the “Living Art Exhibit.”

“Artists within the community submitted clothing designs inspired by artwork from the gallery’s collection,” Rachel Alfaro, the museum’s executive director, said. She said some artists took the challenge in a more literal sense such as artist Debbie Kauffman who created a coat that matched the piece “Tree” by Eric Johnson.

Other artists went in a more abstract approach such as Wendy Kimble who was inspired by the piece “Striped Knee Highs” by Galen Willard. Kimble took inspiration from the bright and whimsical colors creating a dress that was not only abstract but also bursting with life.

The “Living Art Exhibit” will remain on display until Friday, Jan. 31. The next show at the museum will be its 4th Annual Members Only Show. An artist reception will be held at the museum on Thursday, Feb. 6, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
