Contemporary Art Foundation's Third Annual Pajama Party. The Family, featured
in the exhibition, uses discarded garments as conceptual DNA that peer into the
stereotypical traits of the typified family. The artists have exhibited through¬out

Museum Shop: Featured Artist
Alicia White
After growing up surrounded by her mother, a textile artist, and her grandfather,
a silversmith and jewelry producer, its no surprise that Louisvillian Alicia White
adopted the family trade. Bitten by the art show bug very early in life, White began
showing her wares at local art shows as a teenager. Now a mother herself, White
focuses on creating knitted necklaces made from fine wire and pearls. Her pieces
are hand-woven with hundreds of delicate stitches in a uniquely adapted knitting
technique and sometimes incorporate fused glass pieces. They're destined to become
heirlooms, so like Alicia, you can keep it in the family.
Arriving to the 21c Museum Shop on September 5th for a limited time. Stop by during
Trolley Hop to meet the artist.
