Guilford Art Center is delighted to announce the new gallery exhibition, Local Color 7: Circular Thinking, featuring fiber art created by the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA-CT). It kicks off with a free Opening Reception, open to the community, on Sunday, February 1, from 2-4pm. The show will be displayed in the GAC gallery daily through Feb 28. The gallery is open 7 days a week: Monday-Saturday, 10am-4pm and Sunday 12-4pm; free admission.

This exhibition of fiber art by members of SAQA-CT is designed to explore the varieties of meanings, images, and experiences evoked by the circle. The circle can be appreciated as a shape, a symbol, a concept or a metaphor. This exhibition seeks to celebrate diverse explorations of this image that has permeated cultures across the world and across time.

“Guilford Art Center is delighted to present this exhibition celebrating the creativity of these fiber artists. We are all part of an interconnected circle, as this show highlights, inspiring and encouraging creative engagement from local and regional artists” says Maureen Belden, Executive Director, Guilford Art Center.

Betty Busby, an independent SAQA Juried Artist and the Chairperson of SAQA’s Exhibitions Committee, was selected to jury this exhibition. She is a published fiber artist and teacher and maintains a busy exhibit schedule nationally and internationally. She considered each of the 72 entries from regional artists and has selected 36 pieces for the final collection.

The gallery is open 7 days a week, free entry: Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm and Sunday 12-4pm.
