I attended the combined board meeting for Surfside QGuild today, followed by a delicious friendship salad and croissants. And, of course, dessert! There were about thirty ladies present - quite a crowd even though some officers/committee chairs will continue in their old jobs, there were a number of newcomers. Always nice to have some younger, newer members get involved in running the guild.
Afterward I picked up KoKo to stay with me a for a few days. He has just been groomed and doesn't look so much like a puppy now. He is two years old this month.
On Sunday I went to a panel discussion at Visions Art Museum. There were three artists who have served on the juries for the Visions biennial over the years - Liz Axford, Sue Benner, and Judith Content.
They talked a bit about their own work and then discussed the process of jurying, at Visions and other exhibits around the country. I found it very interesting and was sorry more artists weren't there to educate themselves about something so important.
In the picture above the quilts are by Patty Hawkins. The current exhibit "The Jury is In" features the current work of seven former jurors: Liz Axford, Sue Benner, Judith Content, Patty Hawkins, Patricia Malarcher, Jan Myers-Newbury and Kent Williams. Also on display are works by Cas Holmes (England), Gay Lasher and "Geometrics", a Visions Member Challenge. These exhibits all run through July 3rd.
