COMPLEMENTS: THE ART OF CHARLES ADDAMS AND SUZANNE HEILMANN

RIALTO THEATER
12:00 - 5:00 PM

They say that art imitates life. But sometimes art imitates other art, even if by coincidence. Artist and friend of the Tee & Charles Addams Foundation Suzanne Heilmann’s masterpieces get a special twist in this exhibit, which pairs her imaginative works alongside an artist who also had a flair for the extraordinary – Charles Addams. Like what you see? Suzanne Heilmann's art is available for purchase. Inquire at the Rialto.

FENCE ART BY NORMAN KIRBY

Corner of Broad and Central
On display October 16-31

Fabric, light and shade come together to form this extraordinary street art created by Jersey City artist Norman Kirby as part of AddamsFest and the Westfield Public Arts Commission. Norman's fence art is made by weaving six foot long strips of two inch wide canvas into chain link fences. The strips are tied together to make various visual elements. Preliminary drawings are usually made to get a sense of what the final fence art will look like. Shadows from the lines can sometimes be seen cast on the ground and/or a nearby wall, depending on the time of day. Wind can create movement within the installation, which is another surprise that can change based on weather elements.
