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.
