“X Marks the Spot” Group Exhibit by the Missouri Fiber Artists

Come check out a new exhibit of work by MOFA members (Missouri Fiber Artists) based on stitched and monoprinted mark-making techniques taught by artist and author Ilza Aviks!

Over the winter and spring, a group of MoFA members participated in an online workgroup following workbooks created by Ilza Aviks. They did A LOT of stitching and print- making and idea testing. For the exhibit, “X Marks the Spot,” they chose to include the symbol “X” in each work in some way, and complete small works on stretched canvas. Some pieces are representative and some are purely abstract, but you are sure to be inspired by the rich colors and textures on these dynamite “smalls!”

** Guest artist Amy Firestone-Rosen’s metal scuptures perfectly complement these fiber works by exploring mark-making on aluminum and steel surfaces. This recent work pushes her earlier soft fiber art to the extreme!**

Exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Please join us at the opening reception to meet the artists and enjoy music and refreshments.
