Exhibit in NYC

https://www.curiouscorners.com/single-post/2017/08/27/Erin-Wilson-at-KOFU-showroom

This exhibit of the work of Erin Wilson using Japanese textiles and her own hand dyed fabric is only up until Oct. 7, in a gallery in Chelsea. A couple of us on the Board are planning to go see it next Thursday, and thought this would be a fun field trip for any Guild members who had the time and interest.

The exhibit is open from 1p until 6p. The gallery is in the neighborhood of Chelsea Market and the High Line, and about 14 blocks from the Whitney Museum. If the weather is still nice we could do some walking, grab a bite to eat. Obviously it is a work day, and there is mass-transit and a lot of walking involved, so it’s not for everyone.

We will plan to meet in front of 547 W 27th St, at 1pm Thursday October 5.

Respond in the comments, or let Margy know (president@njmqg.com) if you’re interested, and we can plan our afternoon.

Reminder: Just two days left to respond to our survey! This is your guild, and we value your input and participation.
