Due to circumstances beyond our control, Jacoby Arts Center in Alton, Illinois suddenly and without warning announced on March 1st that it could no longer host From the Inside Out. Elizabeth and I were forced to seek another venue. Not an easy task on short notice since galleries usually book shows a year or two in advance. I immediately sought help from numerous galleries in the St. Louis/Metro East region.
And...we were very VERY lucky indeed!
This means our opening date will only change by a day or two. Our closing date will change however. The new venue can only accommodate our show for 5 weeks due to other shows that must fit before semester break.
NEW VENUE: Art and Design West Gallery
Department of Art and Design
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
75 South Circle Drive
Edwardsville, IL 62026
NEW DATES: August 18 to September 21, 2014. We are negotiating the date of the opening reception. We will let you know as soon as we know. Gallery hours during the week may vary also.
Fabienne's workshop will go on as planned. And she will be at ADW Gallery SIUE for an artist talk on September 18 to which all workshop participants are invited as well as the public. Time of the talk to be announced.
Also, in the very near future I hope to announce a workshop to be taught at the university textile lab by Rio Wrenn. Stay tuned. Lots of excitement coming.
ADW Gallery and the new Art & Design West addition to the art department at SIUE was dedicated in March of 2013. It is a beautiful space and we can't wait to see our show installed there. We couldn't have asked for a more professional looking space. I'll be posting more pictures soon on the ADW Gallery page.
Whew! So glad you were able to find a great new venue..and that fabienne's workshop etc will still be a go. not so good of the Jacoby to cancel so suddenly after all this time..good work..And I hope Rio Wrenn does do a workshop; i'd not heard of ehr until you started organzing this..and discovered she's based in Portland.
ReplyDeleteWhew is right! I was sweating bullets there for awhile. But it's going to work out beautifully.
DeleteI can't wait to meet Rio in person…she and I have been having some marathon phone calls. Our history and involvement with rusting is eerily similar.
