Local Color is a dual exhibition presented by SAQA members
from the Connecticut region and the Northern California/Nevada region.
Connecticut, home to a growing number of talented fiber and
multi-media artists, has centuries of stories to tell. “Local
Color: Connecticut Stories” is the second Connecticut-themed, juried
exhibition organized by co-curators Diane Wright and Kate Themel and brought to
life by Connecticut SAQA members. This visually exciting collection embodies
the uniqueness of our state’s history and each artist’s personal narrative.
Participating artists
from Connecticut include: Debbie Bento, Christina Blais, Diane Cadrain, Kelly Caldwell, Alice Chittenden, Carol Eaton, Ann Marie Gontarz, Rita Hannafin, Yvette Howard, Angelina Kendra, Paula Klingerman, Aurelle Locke, Karen Loprete, Barbara McKie, Clara Nartey, Margaret Phillips, Judy Ross, Phyllis Small, Catherine Smith, Kate Themel, Anna Tufankjian and Diane Wright
“Local Color: Stories of Our Members”
will showcase recent, innovative works, which celebrate the personal stories
and narratives of Northern California/ Nevada SAQA members. The theme can be
broadly interpreted from personal stories to regional history and from literary
references to regional environment, and beyond. The Northern California/ Nevada
exhibition team includes Jennifer Landau and Denise Oyama Miller.
