July Meeting Update. New Location: Textile Center

Summer greetings:

The July 27th, 2010 meeting has been changed to the Textile Center. http://www.textilecentermn.org We will have a social hour from 5:30 - 6:30. Bring a dish or beverage to share. The meeting will begin at 6:30 PM. Please bring what you have been working on. 

The reason for the change is that I had the opportunity to extend my Asia trip to visit Korea. While there, I will be networking with the new regional representative for Korea, Mi-Sik Kim. I will also be looking at potential venues for a SAQA exhibit in Seoul, Korea. It is an exciting opportunity for SAQA and myself, so I hope you will forgive me for the change in venue. 

Some exciting opportunities for you:

Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition applications are due this Monday, July 19th. The application takes five minutes and no photo is needed. We need more fiber entered, the media is selected as a percentage of all entries. See the details at: http://www.mnstatefair.org/competition/fine_arts.html

The Textile Center is accepting applications for the juried Holiday Show. Details at http://www.textilecentermn.org/gallery.asp

If you have other exciting news you would like to share, let me know and I can send it out via email and on our blog.
