On my way to check out the newly-minted Ross at the Beverly Connection the other night, I walked past the Craft in American Study Center at 8415 West 3rd Street on the same stretch as Plastica and Aero & Co. I’m not sure when it opened, but I was immediately intrigued by the poster for a Teri Greeves Beadwork exhibition, kicking off this Saturday, March 13 with an artist reception at the center from 5pm-8pm. Greeves is Kiowa from Oklahoma, a master beader who collides contemporary with traditional, and has her pieces everywhere from the National Museum of the American Indian to the Brooklyn Museum… (Greeves and her work, RSVP, and more on Craft in America after the jump.)
