3. Button Up at The Button Show
Artist, Beau McCall, also known as the King of Buttons
The very creative curator, Souleo, has teamed up with Rush Gallery in an exhibit with artwork created by using buttons. The Button Show highlights eleven artists using buttons as either a dominant medium, or a featured element in work from sculptures to wearable art. Many of the artists in this exhibit grew up surrounded by buttons collected by mothers and aunts and have been creating with buttons for years, like artist Beau McCall, whose numerous pieces of artwork took up one entire room of the Rush Gallery multi-room event.
The Button Show will be on view through March 12 at Rush Gallery, located at 526 West 26th Street, Suite 311.
