Dare to Dance – an Artist’s Interpretation of JoyWhere quilters gather, art quilts will happen. These quilts may reflect basics in structure and characteristics of traditional quilts, but with the freedom of artistic interpretation and use of contemporary techniques, anything is a go. Through the joy of creating, by needle and thread and in all manner of surface design, hand stitching and embellishment, “Dare to Dance” makes a debut.

June 19 – July 31

Near & FarMore than the classic travel genre will be appearing on the gallery walls for “Near and Far”.
