The hanging signs should include the following information, in this order:
Artist Name
Title
Technique
Fiber Content
Price
A group photo will be taken at the studio, when we bring our pieces, or before. Date to be announced.
The title of the show is tentatively “ Inspiration Pallet.”
Each artist will prepare a wrap board 2”x7” that includes the fibers he or she uses, evenly divided along the board. Bring these with you to the studio with your piece.
The boards to use will be at the studio for you to pick up.
Bonnie agreed to make the hanging signs for the show and get the wrap boards. Thanks Bonnie.

Other Business
1. Mary Zicafoos participated in an interesting art exhibit at Fontenelle Forest in Omaha.
The show is entitled
“ Elements- Environmental Arts Exhibit.”
A dynamic outdoor exhibit exploring contemporary environmental issues.
Her piece is outdoors and can be seen from the boardwalk. The piece will be up for a
year. For details go to http://www.fontenelleforest.org/ 402 731-3140.
2. Catherine Easton judged fiber arts at the Nebraska State Fair. Unfortunately there
weren’t any weavings entered by anyone. We should rectify this. Even if we enter pieces we
already have done. It would get our name out.
3. First Plymouth Church is sponsoring an art auction called aCross Lincoln to raise money for a variety of charities. The artists are to …. create artwork incorporating the symbol of the cross…. to render his or her own personal interpretation of the cross but also encourages artwork that incorporates other faiths in a positive way.
