Cherry Blossom exhibit and live virtual opening – 2021.04.02

For the last week or so, I’ve been busy getting quilts ready for upcoming exhibits – making hanging sleeves and labels. I shipped off a couple of quilts last week and I have more to go this week.

One piece that I shipped last week was ‘Shades of Pink‘. I made this art quilt last spring for the annual textile art exhibit Cherry Blossoms: A Textile Translation. As with so many other exhibits in 2020, it was cancelled due to the pandemic. But I’m thrilled to say it will on display this year, from April 8 to May 2, at the Silk Purse Arts Centre in West Vancouver.

Here’s some more information about the exhibit, including a very exciting concept. They will be broadcasting a live virtual opening! It will be on April 8th at 7pm Pacific time. It will include a video tour of the exhibition, and some of the 24 artists (including me) will discuss their inspirations, and the audience can ask them questions.

Here’s the link to the opening reception (and recordings of previous virtual openings) at the West Van Arts Council YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTDTpRLU70g The event will be recorded, so if you can’t make it to the live session, you can watch it later.
