September 2013 at FRANK will be one to remember! Our main exhibition will feature Chapel Hill favorite Jane Filer with Jane at FRANK. FRANK: In Focus will return with a show Inspired by the Lens, and our featured artist will be ceramicist Sasha Bakaric.

Jane at FRANK features new work by locally and internationally collected artist Jane Filer. She draws inspiration from nature, the world around her, and the aboriginal art of Western Australia, where she lived as a child. Filer is best known for her bright colors and whimsical creatures, partnered with her impressionistic brush strokes.

Join us on Thursday Sept. 19, 6-8pm at FRANK for An Evening with Jane Filer, as she gives a talk about her work, inspiration and what drives her as an artist.
