I often think how much life is enhanced by public art. It’s not only a more colorful world but a more conscious one as well. Public art raises awareness and exposes a larger audience to new perspectives and ideas. And – heck – life is just more fun with art! The First Annual Art in the Open on the Schuylkill River June 9-12th was a perfect example of the integration of public and art.

[While I haven't seen this show in New York, I know the artist's work through her representation at local gallery Art Mûr in Montreal. She's a wonderful artist doing thoughtful work that both has contemporary and historic relevance; it's so great to see her getting attention in NYC] Recognizing the depth of her practice and the impact of her art, The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York recently invited Nadia Myre (along with Alaskan Sonya Kelliher-Combs) to initiate Hide: Skin As Material and Metaphor , their current multi-show series. Scar Tissue, the first solo showing of Myre’s work in New York City, presents a retrospective of the Montreal-based artist’s powerful and evocative image-creations of the past five years (including The Scar Project , Landscape of Sorrow and Scarscapes ).

Illustration: John Henry Dearle Arras tapestry portiere 1910 John Henry Dearle is probably the best-known name associated with the Morris & Co company after that of William Morris himself and his lifelong friend and oftentimes creative companion Edward Burne-Jones. Dearle’s input into the company cannot be stressed enough. He worked himself up from the retail side and by the 1890s he had become, in all but name, the director of the business.
