Not Your Grandma's Fiber Show




Already the Free Press is calling this show Avant Guard. Join us this Sunday January 16th from 1-4PM for a champagne reception.

The exhibit features wall pieces, quilts, clothing, fiber sculptures and so much more. The pieces will have a couple of things in common — they will be avant-garde and ecclectic.

We want to give a whole new meaning to what fiber art is!!!

Brooks Harris Stevens, a guest curator from Eastern Michigan University, said fiber art is derived from the tradition of textile arts. It’s a flexible genre that doesn’t have to fit the dichotomy of being only functional or only decorative.

She will display her work, and EMU student's work based on concepts using textile materials and a diversity of techniques. “This keeps people interested, and at the same time, curious as to how things can be pushed further for the next piece,” she said.
Show Run January 16 - March 3

The Green Show







Renewing, reusing and recreating Art through recycled materials.


The gallery opening was wonderful. We had so many people in the gallery, it was hard to even step back and enjoy the artwork. So if you came to the opening, you have to come back for a closer look! Here are some pictures of what these clever artists came up with!

In celebration of Tu B' Av, the Festival of Love over 150 local and national artists created hearts for our next exhibit. Each heart started out the same and what the artists did next was totally up to them.

The results were amazing and here are a few to preview.

The exhibit runs July 25th - August 19
