There are very few people who have not heard of the famed children's author Theodor Seuss Geisel -- or, as we have come to know him, Dr. Seuss. Opening on Friday, the touring exhibition Hats Off to Dr. Seuss will showcase the artwork of the Dr. at the Holland Area Arts Council.
This very limited-run art show is a perfect opportunity to see his art up close as well as introduce the next generation of children to a man who, for more than 60 years, created some of the most beloved books, with characters breaking down the boundaries of literature and stories of an unchained imagination that defy categories like "children's book."
Guests attending are encouraged to wear outlandish hats to view the exhibition. In fact, if you should forget your hat or are timid, there are hats at the arts council location to help free you from your mind's boundaries so that when you return you will have a festive hat to celebrate. And yes, I said return since this is a show you will want to see a couple times because it is that good!
In addition, the Hats Off to Dr. Seuss! Holland exhibition not only will feature Dr. Seuss’s traveling exhibition of art, but at the Holland show there will be his never-before-seen hat collection presented alongside his little-known Secret Art.
Dr. Seuss may have passed away in 1991 but his legacy lives on in his books and also in the art he created while he was with us.
