NE² Show


Sneak Peek

We have a show scheduled for July at the Jewish Community Center in Omaha.  OUR First show with the Nebraska Studio Art Quilt Associates group.  There are nine artists with three pieces each.  Each piece is based on the theme "Nebraska Squared" (Nebraska inspired pieces in a square format.   Size restrictions of 1 x 1, 2 x 2, and 3 x 3)  I missed the show and tell in November but saw the previews of some of the work last fall and know that this is an exciting show.

We have a member of our group that is a well known and respected artist.  She is "hand holding" the rest of us as we have never shown before.  I plan to watch her like a hawk and absorb all that I can.  We are readying our pieces for hanging now.   We will use aluminum slats in the sleeves to hang the show.  Our mentor assures us this is a great method.  Sturdy and light weight.

I am making the gallery cards.  I have approached a local gallery for our exhibit as well as the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney, NE to host us...we shall see.  The local gallery is in for next fall.  More info as it becomes available.

I have already learned a lot from this group of like minded ladies even if I must travel to Omaha to take part.  It's only 2 hours...if I drive fast!
