Fiber Focus - 2nd of 5 shows.

Fiber Focus opened at Art Saint Louis today, August 8, 2015  downtown at 1223 Pine Street, St. Louis, MO.  I'm tickled to death to have a piece is this show.  Marci Rae McDade, editor of Surface Design Journal was the juror for this fabulous show which is part of Innovations in Textiles 10. Fiber Focus, which is the only juried show associated with Innovations, will remain on display through October 8.  A very special reception will be held on Saturday October 3 from 6-9 pm. Marci will be there to speak about the show, her selections and awards will be announced.  

Here is the whole piece for the Fiber Focus show.

The BIG weekend for Innovations will also include several Friday Oct 2 gallery openings, a bus tour of select galleries participating in innovations on Saturday, Oct 3, AND a self guided tour called Fiber East where we hope lots of St. Louis folks will cross the river to join Illinoians to visit Sun Smith Foret's studio/gallery in Alton, Lillian Bates' By Design studio and boutique and finally Edwardsville Arts Center to see Material Revival that I am curating and participating in.  

Material Revival (September 7 to October 8 at Edwardsville Arts Center) is held in conjunction with Innovations in Textiles 10, a regional collaborative event celebrating fiber art. Visit craftalliance.org for more information.

My first show of the season, Transformed by Time at Stone Bridge Valley Art Center in Michael, IL opened last Saturday and will be up through August 31. You can read about that here.
