A Juried Members’ Exhibition of the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh
The Artsmiths of Pittsburgh Gallery
1635 McFarland Rd., Mt. Lebanon PA 15216
March 5 – April 1, 2017
“Awakening” conjures thoughts of revitalization, coming alive, rebirth, seeing the light, beginning again and a variety of visions and images. Aptly planned for the early spring month of March, Awakening is an exhibition open to all Fiberarts Guild members. Work entered may utilize any and all fiber techniques and materials that reflect the artistry of the creator. Entries needn’t interpret the Awakening theme literally, but… What awakens you?
