Beads, Fabric, and Silhouettes: Generational Synergy – A Duo Exhibit Rooted in Culture and Memory

The Cane Roots Art Gallery in downtown Christiansted, St. Croix, will host a new exhibit, “Beads, Fabric, and Silhouettes: Generational Synergy,” running from April 17 through May 16. The opening reception Thursday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. invites the public to meet the two featured artists, Elisa McKay and Pedra Chaffers, and explore the personal and cultural themes that uniquely describe their work.

For Chaffers, this exhibition marks more than a gallery showcase. “It’s a homecoming.”...McKay, also no stranger to the local art scene on St. Croix, steps into a more prominent artistic role with this exhibit. Known for her long-standing creative work, including writing and interviewing artists, authors and culture-bearers, to name a few, McKay was inspired to expand her own artistic journey that began in the 1980s after witnessing the impact of her father’s retrospective work....Click here for more information
