Greetings from ARTworks-
the proud host of another innovative quilt show, April-May 2013. Please
share with your colleagues, because Spring is a great time to play in Beaufort
SC, Queen of the Sea Islands.
Modern Quilt Exhibition @ ARTworks in Beaufort SC,
April-May 2013
The Modern quilt is simple, uncomplicated and
contemporary. The Beaufort Modern Quilt Guild is 24 members who strive to
achieve and build on this aesthetic. They are having their first exhibition in
the gallery at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center in April and May. The gallery is
free to browse Tuesdays through Saturdays and special events, including a panel
discussion on Saturday, April 6 at 4pm, about Modern vs. Traditional
quilts with noted sewists, and a reception on Saturday, May 4, 6-8pm,
open to the public.
"We'll have about 30 pieces that show how Modern
quilters work," said Rhonda Jordan, who owns Tabby Fabric & Studio, where
the Beaufort Guild meets. "We've invited the Charleston and Greenville Guilds
too, so the public will see a fantastic range of new designs. Modern quilters
don't follow patterns so much. They embrace asymmetry and negative space, not
just rigid prints and structures. Machine-sewn binding is fine. The show isn't a
competition, but our way of displaying what quilting means here and now." Some
quilts and related creations will be for sale. For more about the Guild, contact
Jordan at 843-379-5700.
ARTworks' gallery is surrounded by artists working in
their studios, a black box theater, and the BIG Story Fest from April 11
through the 14. ARTworks is the community arts center of Beaufort, the
coolest arts council in the Carolinas, and applies the many creative tools of
The Arts to strengthen artists, and enrich audiences, collectors, and visitors
through high quality arts experiences and arts education programs 365 days a
year. www.ArtWorksInBeaufort.org,
