NUMU's 'In The Artist's Studio' To Feature Iconic Charlotte Kruk

LOS GATOS, CA — Let there be any doubt NUMU is both as new and hip as its artists.

Case in point, for all of you who like Bravo's "In the Actor's Studio," the museum invites Los Gatos residents and visitors to applaud "Inside the Artist's Studio" with James Lipton. And at 1 p.m. Saturday, it will bring out the charming, creative and feisty Charlotte Kruk, AKA KrukTart.

A Lynbrook High School, San Jose art teacher, Kruk will talk about her inventive candy-wrapper couture, including the ins and outs of making these unique quasi sculptures. For example, the artist doesn't use glue. She sews the wrappers to the figurine — not your grandmother's type of stitchery.

Those wanting to attend may RSVP.

NUMU's In Artist's Studio exhibition series supports the museum’s mission to share stories in new ways. This rotating exhibition program features the work of local artists and offers insight into the practice of art making by sharing the ingenuity, intelligence and empathy that goes into the creative process with the community.

In the Artist's Studio is supported by the Borgenicht Foundation, which serves to promote the understanding of secularism as the way and hope for establishing peace in the world.

NUMU is open Wednesday from 1 to 5 p.m. and starts at 11 a.m. from Thursday through Sunday. The museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday.
