Why3

Janet’s three small quilts, Learning Why, Why 2, and Why 3 have been selected to be in the High Fiber Under Five 2011 exhibition and sale at the San Jose Museum of Quilts.  For the past three years High Fiber has been a successful weekend benefit art sale created to generate support for both fiber artists and the Museum.

High Fiber showcases a variety of textile art forms including quilts, tapestries, sculpture, basketry, jewelry, wearable art, and mixed media pieces where fiber plays a prominent role.

Janet will also have two quilts made in the eighties, while living in Houston, in the new book LONE STARS III: TEXAS QUILTS TODAY. The quilts will be on display at a special exhibit at the International Quilt Market/Festival Houston 2011 in November.  The two large pieces are Reflections at Sunset (made in 1987) and Spiral Progression (1988).  They will travel for the next year to other exhibits.

"Jelly Beans" by Ann Maki

Ann Maki’s “Jelly Beans” was selected as one of six finalists for the City Arts Magazine Fall Art Walk Awardas one of their favorite pieces displayed over the last few months in Seattle. That means she is nominated to win $1,000 and a profile in an upcoming issue of City Arts (print, online, social media etc) and we know how valuable that is.

The winner is chosen by the public at a party happening on Sept 29th on Capitol Hill at FRED, 127 E. Boylston. Ayone who attends gets to cast a vote, so they are encouraging Ann to bring as many of her fans, friends and family as possible and to stack the votes in my favor.

The party starts at 9pm and the winner will be announced around 10:30.

There’s a DJ, free beer and a full bar, killer visual projections on huge walls, and admission is free when you RSVP. It’s a really fun night and is sponsored by City Arts, Blue Moon Beer, 4Culture and SeattleArtWalks.org.

Here’s a link to the Facebook invite:http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=276979878997085
You can RSVP on Facebook, or by emailing promos@cityartsmagazine.com with Art Walk in the subject line.
