at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas
Open 5pm -10pm daily November 1 - January 6, 2013As the sun sets, the Fair Park in Dallas, Texas transforms into a luminescent spectacle where 22 lanterns weave a rainbow of light around the fairgrounds. Visitors enter through an illuminated red tunnel and explore each festival area, where onsite artists weave palm leaves into small dragons. At the center, a lagoon twinkles with blossoming lotus flowers, green frogs, and a recreation of the Statue of Liberty, which adds an American touch to the traditional Chinese festivities. __________________________  Strange News in Body Art

Wild and wonderful works in wood...
This month we pay tribute to artists who work in wood, including our own David Marsee, Henry Austin, Renee Parnell, and Jerry Jensen. Come see gorgeous wood art by two of our APT wood artists, David and Henry at the Microcosm Exhibition.
Some other inspiring works in wood...
Gerhard Demitz from Italy
Lace Dress, by On Aura Tout Vu, from Calais
Wood car by Livio De Marchi
Livio, from Venesia, Venice, worked first in marble, then bronze, and eventually in wood, as he felt it gave him a vitality he didn't find in other materials.
