Penny Sisto at 80 - Opening Reception (Session II) In-Person
The Carnegie Center for Art & History is pleased to present Penny Sisto at 80, an exhibition of recent works by the venerated New Albany fiber artist. This will be the 80-year-old Sisto’s eighth exhibition at CCAH. The works seen here reveal a return of the artist’s focus to well-loved subjects from her decades-long career as an artist and midwife: powerful women, mothers with children, Goddesses and other spiritual figures—all assembled from scraps of fabric, and adorned with her signature diamond-like sewn details.
In order to reduce crowd size in our galleries during the Covid-19 health crisis, we are requiring attendees to register in advance online and select a time slot to attend the opening. Masks are strongly encouraged at the request of the artist.
