Planning the Show

Overheard...I only have so many arms!

Just their arms are working...lots of laughs otherwise

Hold still please!

The fire extinquisher is NOT part of the exhibit

We will lose the clock
I call this one "Hiding Behind Quilts"

Our upcoming show: in June (date TBD), we will hang 15 or so quilts at Presbyterian Manor in Boulder. Pennie and Cynthia will need to collect all the quilts by April 22 so we can plan the layout and hanging arrangement. Each of us can submit 2-4 quilts (more is better) in all sizes and with a mix of traditional and art quilts.

Next Meeting: tentatively set for May 13th, time, place and agenda TBD

The theme for the second annual MicroCosmos show has been announced. This year’s tiny triptychs will represent Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Each work is to be 5 x 7 inches. Artists should strive to create continuity between each of their pieces so that they ‘feel’ as if they belong together.
 
Just a reminder – all entries must be for sale. Last year all entries were $120 and more than half of the entries sold. This year you may set a price for your triptych but it must not exceed $250. TAQS retains 30% of sales.
