Katie Truk: Stretched Sculpture
Katie Truk wants to prove pantyhose are more than just a torture device for women. Truk is a multi-media artist who creates colorful, enchanting three-dimensional work with pantyhose, wire, a sewing needle and thread.
Each year, the Young Artist Showcase (YAS) provides hundreds of schoolchildren from Hunterdon County and surrounding areas the opportunity to exhibit their art in a designated gallery of the Museum. YAS runs from late January through early June, featuring the artwork of children in kindergarten through high school. This program is an opportunity for students to see themselves as artists and to share their hard work with their community. Volunteers assist the Education staff in switching out the artwork every 2 weeks and at the opening receptions; each show is celebrated with an opening where visitors are welcomed by one of our Board Members.
