Schweinfurth Gallery Walk w/Exhibiting Artists; Quilts=Art=Quilts 2017

I don’t know about you, but I’m always curious about what the space looks like at quilt exhibits. Is it large? Is it small? Is is well lit? Is the exhibit cohesive? Unless you have a chance to attend the exhibit, you don’t know—unless you get to see it in a blog post or other pictures.

Yesterday, was the Director’s Tour with the Quilts=Art=Quilts exhibiting artists. Attendees had the opportunity to hear about the work of the artists from the artists themselves. I found it to be VERY interesting and informative. 

I took some pictures so you could get a feel for the space and a (far-off) look at some more of the quilts. I’ll be posting more quilt pictures and artist’s statements from the exhibit later.

The pictures above shows you what you see when you first walk into the gallery space.

Donna Lamb, the Executive Director of the Schweinfurth, spoke about some of the pieces in the exhibit. In the top photo, she is discussing Kathy Nida’s piece. In the bottom pic, she is talking about a two-sided piece made by Paula Kovarik. In the following photos, the artists are speaking about their own work.

I got to speak about my piece too. I was nervous going in, but I calmed down once people started asking questions. I always say, “You don’t grow if you don’t do things that scare the crap out of you every now and then.”
