Super busy for everyone, in rather many different ways. Nevertheless, most of us have been able to fit in a bit of textile art between all the other commitments…
There was the exhibition at the Brisbane Square Library from 21st April to June 24…. Jan and I set it up and pulled it down, the latter being much quicker than the former – the art quilts did look excellent there though… as well as the 3D works which were our summer challenge.
This was followed up by some of the members showing off (and selling!) work at the Bribie Island Community Centre Art Gallery over the first two weeks of June, as part of the Textile Art Groups biennial exhibition. Again that was quite a busy day setting up but it was a great venue, light and airy and a coffee shop where we all had morning tea and lunch!
The culmination of our work over the last three years is currently on display at the Pine Rivers Art Gallery in Strathpine: “Collective Self” in which we display our group Challenge – do come and see it – On show until late September. There are some workshops running and presented by some of our members, and meet the artists on 17th August from 10.30 am – 2.30 pm. More photos to come in a new post, but here is a wee peek at the artists with their work.
Today’s meeting welcomed two new members, Lyn and Sheralyn, and everyone else brought hand work or machine work to keep them occupied as we all caught up on the news and reminisced and made plans for the rest of this year and next year. More in another post.
So glad we were able to meet in these Covid times, and let’s hope we can meet up again next month as well.
Happy stitching!
