Kindred

 

The Batesville Area Arts Council presented Kindred, an exhibition by Adrienne Callander, at the BAAC Gallery on Main, September 1 - October 3, 2020.

 

This was an interactive exhibition featuring one of Callander’s new projects, #littlesweaterhug, the artist’s socially engaged knit-based response to limited physical contact in the early days of Covid-19. Callander explains, “In April of this year, as a lack of physical contact due to the COVID-19 shutdown started taking its toll, I asked rather whimsically if anyone could use a #littlesweaterhug. I was surprised by the number of requests!” To date, little sweater hugs have traveled to San Francisco, CA; Boulder, CO; Harlem, NY; Louisville, KY; Starkville, MS; Tuscaloosa, AL; and throughout Northwest Arkansas, and now - Batesville.
