The call for art for our upcoming exhibit in partnership with Blue Water Safe Horizons is still open!

If you have yet to stop by the Carnegie Museum to check out "Seeing Red" -- there is still time!

"Seeing Red" is a textile- and fiber-based art show exploring the spectrum of emotions, symbolism, & interpretations invoked by a single color...RED.

In this show, you will find a wide variety of mediums within the fiber art realm such as pieces like "Erato" pictured here!

Artist, Lisa M. Hermesmeyer, says of this piece: "My artistic goal is to transition and transform everyday, utilitarian items into intricate 3D fiber sculptures. Erato is one of my 9 Greek Muses. Red was used to evoke the warmth, emotion and feelings of love, attraction & sensuality. Her red soft double ply hand spun hair invites human touch to connect to it. Her red turban scarf and colorful fringe for bangs invites closer views of ribbons and yarns. The crocheted red crown of unspun wool adorns Erato’s head with a dignified desire."

**********************

"Seeing Red" is open now until September 13, 2026 in the 1st floor galleries of the Carnegie Museum.

We are also hosting the "Seeing Red" Artist Spotlight Reception this Friday, September 4 from 6-8pm! We will be welcoming many of the featured artists in "Seeing Red" to discuss their artwork. We are also working with some other Fiber Club* artists to line up some live performance art pieces for us. Melanie Manos will be performing her piece entitled "Full Steam (A Head)" in the main galleries around 7pm!

Light refreshments will be provided.

This is a FREE event. However, donations to the Port Huron Museums to help us continue bringing beautiful exhibits like this to our galleries are always appreciated!
