This year is moving very fast but my creative energy is resting while I get my quilts from last year ready to show. The Wash. DC Modern Quilt Guild was invited to show at the Anacostia Arts Center as a result of the interest in the "Orange Explains It" quilt which hung there in ArtRomp last September where my friend Thomas Drymon from Triangle Artists Group asked to show my quilts in his experimental art space along bustling 14th. NW. I was delighted to have the invitations to do both exhibits and surprised to discover they will open the same day. Saturday Feb. 15th.
First show is in the
Anacostia Arts Center 1231 Good Hope Rd, SE from 4-7 PM opening with lots of other Modern Quilt Guild events planned.
Including a guild quilt sewing day where you can drop in to see the show and how we make quilts on March 22nd, 11-4 PM
The exhibition runs February 15 - March 29. A public opening reception will be held on February 15 from 4 - 7 p.m. Viewing hours are Tuesday- Saturday from 11 am - 7 pm and during special events. Anacostia Arts Center is located at 1231 Good Hope Road SE. The exhibition is FREE and open to the public.
“Quilting has seen a recent resurgence in interest by practitioners, collectors, and spectators; we are thrilled to be showcasing talented local artisans. Having the Arts Center’s walls wrapped-up snugly in over two dozen quilts make for the perfect winter exhibition,” remarks Director Kate Taylor Davis.
The second show opening 6-9 PM at
doris-mae gallery on 1716 14th St. 2nd floor WDC tel. 202-299-0027
Sunday March 2nd at 2 PM we have an artist talk planned.

In Man on Man, four artists directly or indirectly comment on the formation of the masculine identity and the representation and expectations on men in contemporary society. In addition, they each use materials and methods in ways that are unexpected and exciting, challenging the notion of craft as fine art and the traditional medium and materials men and women have used to express themselves.
