a piece of TWiNE - Opening Reception

On May 10th "a piece of TWiNE" opened at the Imagine Gallery, Northampton, Massachusetts. There was a wonderful turnout for the reception, with TWiNE members driving for many hours to attend, and many members of the local community filling up the gallery as well.

In addition to the tapestries, and visiting with old friends, there was quite an impressive spread of delicious food!

The tapestries filled the gallery space, and were also hanging in the hallway and reception area.

I was pleased that each artist's works were kept together.

I think it makes the exhibit more cohesive.

I am embarrassed to say that, what with all the socializing, I missed some of the artists completely. Sorry.








The show will be up until June 1, so you still have time to see it.

Martha May - Sauropodees Maria Robinson - Against All Odds Featuring 60 recent works by established tapestry weavers and newcomers, the show emphasizes the versatility and adaptability of the age-old medium for a modern audience.  Brenda Osborn -  Blown Off Course "When we tell people we are tapestry weavers the first image that comes to mind is a medieval wall covering with unicorns, hanging in a castle," said Martha May. "Our goal is to dispel this thinking and treat the viewer to a contemporary body of work using the same techniques used by weavers of the past."  Leslie Black - Wildflowers
