Splashes of Color and Space
Inland Empire Modern Quilt Guild
May 23 - July 20, 2019
Modern quilts are art compositions with carefully placed pieces and critically maneuvered thread. Look for solid fabrics, high contrast tones, and geometric shapes. Many quilters use negative spaces to accentuate designs. How do you see artistic aesthetics splashed or strategically placed?

All About the Circle
Elizabeth Carr July 4 - August 10, 2019
Artist statement:
"The circle in my work was inspired by an opossum. She was a rescue, she had been hit by a car and had a blow to the head. She went in constant circles around my feet, wherever I happened to be standing. She was carrying 12 babies in her pouch. After days of watching her go in circles, we were advised by the vet to put her down. She wasn’t going to get better. I took her babies and raised them. Her story became a story about the circle of life. Her babies all lived and were released."
Through August 10, 2019

Young Artist Alcove:
Lizbeth Olmos
June 6 - August 25, 2019
Artist statement: "All of my artworks use different media and have different meaning to them. In each artwork, I focused on different Elements of Art, like texture, color, value and line. For example, in High Five, I used a variety of different values to create simulated textures on each of the fingers. In Find Me a Home, I used color and line to bring awareness to the issues of homelessness in our community. Art making has taught me to pay attention to the details and to have the patience and endurance to complete artworks with a great amount of detail and realism. My goal as an artist is to continue to create, learn more and hopefully inspire others to make art of their own."
