"Wild Fabrications" and "Nature's Tapestries"

"Wild Fabrications" will run Oct. 11 – Feb. 26, 2017 in the auditorium at the Museum of York County.

Organized and toured by Studio Art Quilt Associates, this exhibition features 38 art quilts created by textile artists from around the world. These stunningly vivid and masterfully crafted quilts feature nature themes, portraying animals both realistically and imaginatively in a riot of vibrant colors, patterns and textures. The intricate detail and dimensionality of these stitched works will delight, inspire and fascinate children and adults alike. Sponsored locally by Coats & Clark.

"Nature’s Tapestries" will run Oct. 11 – Feb. 26, 2017 in the Vernon Grant Gallery.

This exhibition highlights the creative endeavors of local fiber artist Dottie Moore to capture the myriad colors, textures, patterns and dimensionality of nature. For over 41 years, Dottie has stitched together her love of nature and her artistic expression into uniquely crafted quilted masterpieces. Her richly textured tapestries celebrate the beauty and mysteries of earth and sky and beg the viewer to pause and ponder their own places--spiritually, physically, creatively--in the world. Moore’s quilts reflect her intuitive artistry, drawing creative expression and inspiration from the natural world. This exhibit provides a rich visual experience to complement the "Wild Fabrications" art quilts on display concurrently in the auditorium.
