Please check out our Museum Comes to You feature on Facebook and Instagram that ran from July 30 to September 13. We shared images and information about the artworks in The World of Frida exhibition.
This traveling exhibition celebrates the culture, style, and persona of visionary painter Frida Kahlo, an artist who continues to inspire with her story of love, adventure, and pain. Featuring 62 works of art by national and international artists practicing in a variety of media, the exhibition includes Frida Kahlo as subject as well as pieces inspired by her life and art, her beautiful garden Mexican culture and fashion, vibrant colors, surrealism, and more.
The World of Frida was organized by Carrie Lederer, Curator of Exhibitions, Bedford Gallery, Lesher Center for the Arts, Walnut Creek.
