Burton Barr Central Library will host an exhibit by Michael Allen Engstrom, titled “CrossRoads BLUES,” Jan. 17 – March 28 at the library’s @Central Gallery, 1221 N. Central Ave.
Free artist receptions, hosted by the Friends of the Phoenix Public Library, will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. during First Friday art walk on Feb. 5 and March 5.
Engstrom’s oil paintings portray early century delta and piedmont style blues musicians. He surrounds his subjects with vivid color and bits of text that suggest the time and place their music was created. (See high resolution images)
