Celebrating 25 Years of Food, Friendship and Fiber Art
On display from July 8 through August 31, 2024
The Monastery Gallery of Art is pleased to present its new exhibit, Celebrating 25 Years of Food, Friendship, and Fiber Art. This exhibit features the work of Mickey Lawler, Pam Hardiman, Trish Hodge, Marylyn Leander, Jean Thibodeau, and Carole Carter, friends and artists who gather monthly to share their work, fiber art techniques, and catch up on life. Each of the women in this group is an accomplished fiber artist in her own right. Many have taught, sold their work, or offered interesting supplies for others to use in theirs. Together, they are more than just a collection of individuals: they inspire each other, care for each other, and feed each other in so many ways.
You can meet and speak with the artists at our reception on Friday evening, July 19, 2024, from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
