Lorri Acott and Adam Schultz have created a compelling traveling exhibition of sculpture and original paintings. Celebrating ideas around unexpected relationships, the nature of duality, and the connective power of mythology on society, this reinterpretation of the “tale as old as time” seeks to inspire a new conversation about what we really define as beautiful, and exactly who is the beast. Some reviews from the first exhibition
There is much to enjoy looking at, to admire the skill, and to ponder the meaning in this show. Don't miss it. — Ann Wilmson
A spectacular exhibit!! — Tony Espinoza
The "Beauty and the Beast" exhibit at the Museum of Art Fort Collins is magnificent. Through the 60 pieces displayed, Lorri Acott and Adam Schultz have created magic. A must see that runs through October. — Marge Brodahl
It was one of the most meaningful shows I remember seeing...ever.
This show is a first rate show at the Fort Collins museum. The art is beautiful and the story they represent makes the viewer think, smile, laugh and tear up. Thank you Lorri and Adam. I will be going back! — Debbie Bakel
Beauty and The Beast. Wow from the moment you enter. Beauty, heartful emotion and engaging large and small.
This show is a do not miss.
We went through Beauty and the Beast last Saturday. We LOVED that you had quotes and thoughts to each piece. Made us think out the pieces and love that we knew what you two were thinking. What a fabulous showing!
Connected in time and space, and challenged by the power of symbolism, I was led on an unexpected journey exploring the universal feelings of love (“Who Rescued Who”), loss (“Missing Pieces”), uncertainty (“Passing Go” & “First Step”, and fear (“Fearless”). Contextualized by the wisdom of both Joseph Campbell and Bilbo Baggins, and reminded of the importance of intuition by a crow, I was most impressed hearing you and Adam (in video) talk about personal and collaborative artistic expression, and the challenge for each of us to search out and interact with the symbols important to telling the story of our own lives.
