Opening Reception 2

Well, I have to say…..for never having hung textiles before, the arts council crew did an awesome job of hanging the exhibit. They did hang some student batik pieces this summer, but I am thinking they were all framed. They had all kinds of different hanging pieces for this Members Textile Exhibit, showing now til September 26 in downtown Evansville, IN at 318 Main St. The exhibit has much variety of work. Eight artists are exhibited and I think it is stunning. I’m pleased as punch to be a part of it. I got to catch up with another artist friend I haven’t seen for awhile and renew relationship with another.

And what does it take to find black Kona cotton? Someone said everyone is buying it up to make Halloween costumes. Is that possible? With the day being 2 months away? I think the last time I tried to find it in Evansville, there wasn’t any and I was going to have to order my own bolt. I generally don’t need a whole bolt but would like maybe 1/2. I had some gorgeous discharged black sateen and I sold all I had last weekend so it is time to get some more. Well, enough of my ramblings.  Have a great holiday weekend!

Opening Reception

Today is the opening reception of the Members Textile Exhibit at the Arts Council in Evansville. There are 8 textile artists in the exhibit. ( I am one of them!)  I will be heading out to Evansville today, first to do some much needed shopping and visit a friend who had surgery last week, then to go to the reception late this afternoon.  The exhibit runs til September 26, so if anyone is in the area, stop by.  The arts council is located on Main Street on the block between 3rd and 4th Streets in downtown Evansville.
