Please Help Us Spread the Word

My name is Nancy Berlier and I’m working behind the scenes to help get the word out about Vessels: All the Eyes Can Hold.

I had the pleasure of working with Vessels curators Lynn Conaway and Carole Gary Staples a couple years ago on the fabulously successful fiber arts show, Fibers, also held at the Kennedy Heights Arts Center (KHAC). Lynn and Carole have a passion for this community arts center and have drafted another KHAC champion, Debra Wallace, to manage the show’s gift shop.

If you are not familiar with the center, it is a beautiful Victorian in the heart of Kennedy Heights. Both homey and architecturally stunning, this was the perfect venue for about 30 artists whose work was shown in Fibers. Family and friends of the artists who gathered for the opening reception were treated to food and music as they wandered from room to room of the rambling old building to greet and meet the artists. 

I think Vessels: All the Eyes Can Hold promises to be another success. The inclusion of many artists whose work crosses genres – ceramics, fiber, wood, basketry and other media – will ensure the gallery will be filled with diverse works. The idea of the show is so imaginative. A vessel can be a vase, a basket or a ceramic pot. Or it can be a ship. Or it can be a human heart -- biologically or spiritually.  I'm sure we will see a few surprises.

Please help us get the word out about the show by sending them a link to this blog. The Call to Artists will go out Nov. 5, 2012 when we will provide details about rules and procedures. Deadline for entries will be June 7.

The show will open Aug. 17, 2013. I hope to see you there.
