"Beau McCall: Buttons On!May 10 - September 14, 2025 Buttons On! marks the first-ever retrospective for artist, Beau McCall. Proclaimed by American Craft magazine as "The Button Man," McCall creates wearable and visual art by hand-sewing clothing buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects. Buttons On! showcases pieces from McCall's nearly forty-year career, the debut of several new works, and select archival material."
"Visitors will experience McCall's button-embellished plethora of wearable art including jackets, vests, yokes, shorts, aprons, sneakers, jewelry, and durags; visual art such as a 450-pound cast iron bathtub, a life-size Kool-Aid Man, and an installation of over 100 jars of buttons; mostly never-before-seen archival materials documenting McCall's career and evolution; and a few select items of McCall's button-less works that spotlight his versatility and boundless creativity."
