aac_mp_logo(LITTLE ROCK, AR) – The Arkansas Arts Center will present a “conversation” with Elizabeth Brim as part of the Friends of Contemporary Craft annual lecture series on Sunday, March 14, 2010, at 6 p.m. in the Arkansas Arts Center Lower Lobby.


Work by blacksmith Brim is anything but typical. Her pieces consist of tiaras, Sunday hats, and tutus. Having been raised in a female dominated household, Brim remembers the frilly dresses her mother sewed for her and her sister to play in. She describes her art as “playing dress-up,” creating works that allow her to have a good time in the process. She is currently employed at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina where she teaches blacksmithing and metal work.

Tickets to attend the “conversation” are $15 for FOCC members and $20 for non-members.  A light dinner will be served.  Reservations are required and should be made no later than March 5, 2010.

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
