Support is needed and always appreciated. The FAHS Thrift Store is located at 1193 Bay St., in Old Town. International fabric art exhibit premieres in Yachats YACHATS — The Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences is pleased to present the U.S. premiere of the international fabric art exhibit, “World Painters Challenge,” on Sunday, Aug. 23, from 1 to 5 p.m. in the multi-purpose room of the Yachats Commons. This exhibit contains 90 pieces of fabric art. Each piece is 50 cm (19.7 inches) square. The exhibit started traveling in 2013 and has been shown in Japan and France. The Yachats showing will be the first in the United States. Ruth Bass, Yachats resident, has a piece in the show and has been responsible for bringing the show to the Academy. The challenge began with a list of 30 master painters. Each quilt artist was assigned a mas- ter painter to interpret in fabric art. There will be three quilt interpretations (one each from the United States, France and Japan) of each painter’s work. Several of the fabric artists will be present for this venue. ...need a friend?
