Exhibit: Fiber Goes Vogue

Dates: February 1 - March 29

About: ACE’s 2019 Annual Fiber Arts and Jewelry Exhibit challenged local artists to use images from recent Vogue magazines as a springboard to create new works. Each artist selected a unique page from Vogue – an advertisement or photo spread – interpreting its colors, textures, and styles through the lens of their chosen medium. The resulting pieces vary widely in their similarity to the original image. Viewers will have a chance to compare the two, as the Vogue image and the finished piece will be displayed side-by-side.

Co-op Gallery

The Art Center East Co-op Gallery features the work of non-juried community artists. As our “DIY” gallery, the Co-op Gallery gives local & regional artists the opportunity plan, hang, publicize their own show, host an opening reception, and sell their artwork. ACE is proud to offer this opportunity to any artist or group of artists 15-years of age or older, expanding our exhibit space and opening up exhibiting opportunities to a broader range of experience levels.

Artwork displayed in the Co-op Gallery show for 2 months and must be wall-mounted, as the floor space is used for movement classes. Past exhibits have included works by local painters, illustrators, and photographers, as well as installation works and group exhibits created for community-focused events and fundraisers.

Art Center East Galleries are open Mon-Fri 10am-4pm & Sat 12-4pm. All exhibits are free and open to the public.
