Beau McCall: Divas, Blues and Memories exhibition - Opening Night

The Hammonds House Museum presents opening night of "Beau McCall: Divas, Blues, and Memories" Friday, February 13, 2026 6:30PM - 9:00PM.

Curated by Souleo.

Beau McCall: Divas Blues & Memories features dazzling collages and button-encrusted works. Beautifully curated by Souleo, you’ll step into an exhibition that treats music as both sanctuary and soundtrack as music channels the songs, performers, and friendships that have carried him from the disco floors of the 1970s to the present day.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Proclaimed by American Craft magazine as “The Button Man,” Beau McCall creates visual and wearable art by hand-sewing clothing buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects. His artworks, offering commentary on topics such as pop culture and social justice are held in the permanent collection of numerous public institutions including the Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles, CA); Museum of Arts and Design (New York, NY); Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia, PA); Victoria and Albert Museum (London, UK); and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York, NY).

In McCall's words, his artistic practice is rooted in the belief that “With a teeny tiny button you can create, you can have a voice, and you can inspire.” For more information visit his website: BeauMcCall.com.
