Chestertown RiverArts is pleased to announce our August exhibitions, Fiber Finesse and Fabrications 2014. Opening reception for both shows is Friday, August 1, from 5 – 8 p.m.
RiverArts’ widely acclaimed annual Fiber Show, “Fiber Finesse,” presents a collection of beautifully handmade, original fiber pieces, which run the gamut from knitted items to wear to hand-woven pieces to adorn your home. Fiber artists of all mediums – woven, knitted, hooked, hand spun, sewn and molded will display and sell their art. Complete details for artists interested in participating can be found on our website at chestertownriverarts.org/shows/calls-for-artists-2/
Fabrications 2014 is highly imaginative, creative, contemporary artwork created by nationally/internationally recognized and awarded artists whose work is represented in private, public, museum and corporate collections. This guest exhibition presents art from the masterful fabrication of kiln formed glass and steel into indoor/outdoor sculptures and tables by Sabra Richards, porcelain vessels by Rick Bisgyer, Art Quilt and “mirror images” by Jean M. Evans, “New Visions-fused” by Joyce Murrin.
The work of these four artists spans a combined 150 years working in the arts. Their art forms have been sharply honed yet they remain flexible, adaptable, open to new materials and totally committed to the challenge of bringing their new ideas to fruition.
Both exhibitions run through August 30. RiverArts is located at 315 High Street, Suite 106, in Chestertown. Gallery hours: Tuesday through Thursday 11 am-4 pm, First Fridays 11 am-8 pm. Saturdays 10 am-4 pm
Chestertown RiverArts is a member-supported, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to engaging our community in the creation, appreciation, and support of the arts.
