Local Color: A Double Exhibition!

LOCAL COLOR – An Exhibition of Fiber Art

By members of SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates)

Please join us for the OPENING RECEPTION

Sunday, June 11, 2017 from 1 – 3 PM

The Slater Memorial Museum, Norwich CT

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.

Participating artists from Northern California / Nevada include:

Karen Balos, Nancy Bardach, Maria Billings, Sonja Campbell, Adriane Dedic, Aileyn Renli Ecob, Kathy Grady, Jean Renli Jurgenson, Roberta Lagomarsini, Denise Oyama Miller, Patricia Porter, Nancy Ryan, Ann Sanderson, Roxanne Schwartz, Eileen Searcy, Sue Siefkin, Sigrid Simonds, Gail Sims, Ileana Soto, Deborah Weir, Evelyn Wickham, Amy Witherow, Martha Wolfe and Ellen Wong
