A Feral Housewife, an exhibition of collages by Leelanau County artist Mary Beth Acosta, take up residence in the Glen Arbor Arts Center Lobby Gallery January 6 – April 21.

Working under the creative nom de guerre “The Feral Housewife,” Acosta uses simple, familiar tools and a range of recycled, vintage papers to create collages about mid-century housewives, big-finned cars, and “labor-saving” appliances that were promoted as drudgery-busting machines that would revolutionize the modern home.

A video interview with Acosta about her materials and methods can be seen as part of the online version of this exhibition: GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS. A Feral Housewife may be view at the GAAC during business hours. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
