The main branch of the Phoenix Library is holding, “El Amor de Frida,” a free art exhibition (through 7/26) in honor of Frida Kahlo’s birthday.

We went and checked it out yesterday.

The works, created by members of the Phoenix Fridas collective and other local artists, are inspired by the life, beliefs, and words of Frida Kahlo. An oversized statue of the Mexican painter marks the front of the exhibit, which also features mixed media, sculptures of wire and glass, painted plates, jewelry, and a portrait made from seed beads.

It’s another great example of art in libraries!

  1. That looks like a cool exhibition – thanks for sharing. Funny thing – I know July is the anniversary of her birth and death, but Frida seems to be popping up in my life in random places in recent days. I’ll ponder the reason why after I’ve had more coffee. *grin*

    1. It is funny when those things happen! But, I agree, more coffee first. In fact, I could use another cup myself.
