Congratulations to Donna Deaver for winning Best of Show at 'Fabrications' Quilt Artists Juried Quilt Exhibition 'Imagination Unleashed - Journey' for her pictorial art quilt "Gauguin Revisited"!
Fabrications was held at the Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center in Post Falls, Idaho. This was Donna's first entry into a juried show.
There was an interesting question and thread on the SAQA Yahoo group yesterday about submitting to all media shows. The responses were very favorable for those who had entered their art quilts into mixed media shows. In fact, they had great success.
Fiber is a wonderful medium as we well know and incredibly diverse. The facts seem to bear out that more people would like to see art quilts not just at quilt shows. It is a fantastic way to raise the level of awareness.
This seemed to be the jist of the Reinvention Conference. Get your work out there in a variety of venues. We are artists who happen to use fiber in our work. And as Martha would say "that's a good thing".
(If you haven't joined this group, go to SAQA@yahoogroups.com and request to join)
Several SAQA members are on this new site http://www.figurativeartist.org/
Check it out, it looks very interesting and another venue to show art quilts.
Mentorship call tomorrow night, Weds. April 14th 8pm ET. Teaching on the Circuit with Anna Hergert. Details for this audio presentation are on the SAQA site.
