The ArT QuILT ExPERIENce

I spent Sunday in Cazenovia, NY for the opening of the ArT QuILT ExPERIENce exhibit. The 64 juried quilts were displayed in two venues, so there were two artists' receptions to attend, in addition to a lecture by the head juror, Jonathan Holstein. It was quite a day!

I was fortunate enough to have one of my quilts selected for showing. I am new enough to this sort of experience that this was the first time I had a quilt listed in a catalog. I was quite delighted, to say the least. And, quite honestly, I was in awe of the other quilts in the exhibit. In the coming days, I will be sharing some of my many, many photos from the venues and lecture. For now, let me share some information on where to find the two venues, and three other opportunities to view art quilts in the neighboring area. If you are able to visit and wish to try and catch all five venues, the suggestion was made that you visit on Tuesday - Saturday, when all are open.
