I'm a member of the Fiber Artist of Oklahoma and we are gearing up for our annual juried exhibit, Fiberworks. This will be our 30th anniversary! You can read about it and download the prospectus on our website at http://www.fiberartistsok.org/. Our juror this year is Erica Spitzer Rasmussen who is an incredible artist that creates mixed media and handmade paper garments. She has been featured on the pages of FIBERARTS, Surface Design Journal, Hand Papermaking, Craft Arts International and SpinOff Magazines. We have photos of her innovative work on our prospectus.
Erica will be giving a free lecture on June 4th at the Belle Isle Library in OKC that is open to the public. Thursday, June 5th will be Critique Night at the IAO Gallery downtown OKC. The exhibit will be hung and Erica will talk about each piece that she selected for the show. I love Critique Night! Fiberworks is the only juried show that I have entered that has such an event. Friday, June 6th from 6 to 8pm will be the opening reception at the IAO Gallery http://www.iaogallery.org/, 811 N. Broadway, OKC. The exhibit will be on view until June 27th.
It's an execellent show of traditional, contemporary and innovative work primarily made of fiber so if anyone is in the area I hope you will stop and see the exhibit.
