From Mighty Fine Arts:
“Mighty Fine Arts presents “Erratic Developments” featuring new work by infamous artist Franklin Ackerley. This show opens Saturday Nov 11 with a reception for the artist from 6-9pm and will run till Dec 17. Widely known for his over the top pop concoctions Ackerley rose to prominence in the early 1990s while still in graduate school at Central Washington University. He has become known as much for his secretive nomadic lifestyle as for his iconic and ever changing artwork. Despite shunning the spotlight for decades Ackerley’s fame continues to rise as he has been featured in exhibits and collections throughout the world. This exhibit will be the first in the DFW Metromess and as luck would have it he has agreed to make what will be his first appearance at an opening since 1997 at the Tucson Museum of Art. On view will be a selection of new work never before seen in public. To help celebrate this special occasion Wordspace will present musical performances by direct from Lubbock, Bryan Wheeler! And Dallas’ own subversive party band The Sutcliffes! And if we are lucky perhaps Ackerley will play a tune or two! So make plans to be part of this historic evening and meet Mr Ackerley in the flesh and see for yourself why he and his artwork are adored by so many! Mighty Fine Arts is located at 409A N Tyler in the Historic North Oak Cliff Neighborhood of Dallas 75208. Gallery open by appointment text: 214-556-7724″
