Soulful Journeys Connecticut Fiber Artists Collective

March 12 through April 23, 2016: Soulful Journeys. Come see this group exhibition featuring the works from the Connecticut Fiber Artists Collective. The exhibit opens with a reception on Saturday, March 12, 2016, 5-7 pm. The collective is a diverse group of artists who share a common passion, creating art from fiber. Organized in 2011, the founding members of CtFAC sought an informal network of committed fiber artists to support and provide one another with inspiration and instruction. Their vision continues to focus on mutual goals of artistic growth and development, while sharing art with the public.

The artistry of their work invites viewers to rethink the traditional concept of the quilt, expanding it from its original utilitarian origins and reimagining it as art. Original designs are created using a variety of techniques, including hand dyeing, felting, quilting, and appliqué, and then enhanced with embellishments such as beading, hand embroidery, and knitting.

For this exhibit the CTFAC took its inspiration from the nearby Connecticut River, with its suggestion of journeys, not only of the body, but of the spirit. Fiber artists represented in the exhibition include Christina Blais, Diane L. Cadrain, Carol R. Eaton, Mary Lachman, Karen Loprete, Linda Martin, Wanda N. Selden, Rosalind Spann, Antonia Torres, and Carol Vinick.

Exhibition hours for the Windsor Art Center are: Thursdays, 6-8:00pm; Saturdays, 10:00am to 4:00pm; and Sundays, 11:00am to 4:00pm.

This exhibit is supported in part through a sponsorship from Cigna and support from Vantis Life. For more information, please call 860.688.2528 or visit www.windsorartcenter.org.
