"Wearable Art Retrospective"
April 11-13, 2008

In keeping with the Art Alliance's 40th Anniversary
celebration, a "Wearable Art
Retrospective" was held on the weekend of April 11-13. This
retrospective
was an exhibition and sale of contemporary and vintage wearable art
and fashion
accessories created since the 1970’s by Art Alliance members and
nationally-known
fiber artists. The exhibit featured garments and accessories in a wide
range of
techniques including, batiked, hand-woven, hand-painted, hand-marbled,
appliquéd,
quilted, and felted work.
We are most grateful to Sharon McCarthy, who served as
Curator of the Retrospective and donated vintage werable art from her collection
for a silent auction.
