Friday Inspiration - Exhibits and Fairs

If you're in Southern California, there are a few interesting sounding fibers exhibits currently going on.  First, the California Fibers Exhibition will be around until May 8, 2014 at Soka University in Orange County.  See details here.

Then, at the Visions Art Museum in San Diego, you can see two fibers exhibits through April 19, 2014.  Intersections:  New Work of Barbara Lee Smith is an exhibit of acrylic painted, stitched and fused pieces.  Very nice!  You can see a lot of her Washington coast inspiration in her work.  Also at the museum is The Jazz Challenge, a collection of small art quilts by the San Diego Canyon Quilters.  Pictured to the left is Saxy Music by Jan Hayman.  See more information here.

And if you're planning ahead, there are two upcoming fiber fairs, one in Utah and the other in South Dakota.  I love fiber fairs!  You can usually spend a full day perusing fibers, animals, and classes.  The Great Basin Fiber Fair will be held August 22 - 23, 2014 in South Jordan Utah and the Black Hills Fiber Art Fair is in Rapid City South Dakota April 25 - 26, 2014.

Happy Creating!  Deborah
