Every week or so, I browse through the call-for-entries on CaFE, a website listing all sorts of opportunities for mostly visual artists. I saw one entry that intrigued me. Then, I got an email from the Dairy Barn Art Center that also announced this particular juried show. At first, I didn't think my work would qualify for Fibers of Appalachia. The prospectus was written for works related to the more northern Appalachian area. I'm in the south. Then, I read the fine print! As long as the work related to the regional area near Ohio, I qualified. Oswald Home Laundry depicts my great grandmother who owned her own business in Huntington, West Virginia. What could be more truly "Appalachian" that that! I entered and the work was accepted. Due to the size and the extremely high price for shipping, we are delivering it in person ... going on to Columbus to switch out artwork at Chaos Contemporary Craft, a gallery that now represents my Found Object Mandalas! Fibers of Appalachia will run from June 15 to 21 and has an opening reception on Thursday, July 2, 2026 from 5pm-7pm. We can't return for the opening but would appreciate photos from anyone who will be there!
