‘Wearable art,’ up to a point

“Are You Thirsty?’’ (plastic bottles and cotton cloth), by Antonaeta Tica, a Romanian artist, in Arts Center East’s (Vernon, Conn.) “2nd Annual Wearable Art Exhibit,’’ an international show, through March 13.

The center says:

“The art pieces featured in the exhibit are as diverse as the locations of their artists. While there are plenty of textiles, hats and other expected wearable mediums, the exhibit also features hair art, fashion photography, repurposed trash fashion and other unconventional forms of wearable art”.

The Memorial Tower on Fox Hill, in Vernon, was completed in 1939 as a collaborative WPA project to hire workers during the Great Depression and invest in projects to benefit local cities. It is dedicated to the veterans of all wars from Vernon.
