Wearing art is becoming a mantra of sorts at circa. Urban Artisan Living (2771 Old Canton Road, 601-362-8484). The shop with the odd name often has trunk shows with designers, jewelers and craftsmen.
On Feb. 2, circa hosts an artist reception for Christy Henderson, a Mississippi artist who paints in blocks of colors. Her art is a blend between primitive style and modern geometric forms. The consistent theme in all her work is love. The folks at circa. Found it fitting to invite Henderson and potential art buyers to the shop a couple of weeks before Valentine's Day.
Circa. Is featuring Oregon designer Joy Light the same day with a trunk show featuring her hand-painted silk clothing. She recently made a fiery tie-dye silk shawl for actress Ginnifer Goodwin. She makes long, thin, sheer scarves in rich colors that float in the air if you prance just right.
The reception and trunk show are Feb. 2 at circa. The event begins at 5 p.m. and continues until 8 p.m. To learn more about the Fondren shop, visit http://www.circaliving.com.
