In the wake of a decision by Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli to cover up the bare-breasted woman on the Virginia state seal, officials at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond are concerned that Cuccinelli will next turn his attention to the museum and its collection. Cuccinelli’s interest in the state’s seal was first reported by Norfolk’s Virginian-Pilot newspaper. Cuccinelli is a right-wing Republican best known for questioning President Obama’s citizenship and for ending protections for gays and lesbians at Virginia universities.

George Whiteside, who's best known as one of Canada's foremost fashion photographers, was one of the founders of the artist-run centre YYZ, and has returned to those roots at One800, a gallery he opened a couple of months ago .

Valentine, meanwhile, shows a project centred on Canadian prairie revolutionary Louis Riel.

Contact doesn't officially start until Saturday, but that doesn't mean there isn't a glut of openings related to it tonight. In keeping with last year's practice, I'll run a photo here every day, from a different exhibition (not sure if the paper will do the same this year or not; last year we got lucky).

Illustration: Large embroidered hanging from Bukhoro, Uzbekistan The embroidery skills and decorative pattern work of Uzbekistan are some of the most iconic of Central Asia. Although embroidery was used extensively in costume, apart from the ubiquitous cap or hat, many outside of Uzbek culture are more familiar with domestic embroidery.
