Attending the opening of Art Quilts XXII in Chandler, Arizona on November 17, 2017 was so much fun. I am honored to be in a group show with so many accomplished artists. I enjoyed meeting some of them. The opening evening provided time to interact and to learn how and why the artists created what they did for the exhibition. The curator of the show, Sandra Branjord, was candid about her process of selecting the art. From her, I learned that the detail shots are equally important as the overall shots of a piece when submitting an entry.
While the process of doing the work is the first and foremost motivator, feedback about a finished piece is an added bonus. Watching attendees view and comment was a highlight of the evening for me.
If you are in Phoenix over the holidays, it is well worth a trip to visit
“As Near to the Edge as I Can Go” at the Chandler Center for the Arts Gallery, Chandler, AZ from November 17, 2017 – January 5, 2018.
