SPIN members were asked to create works that answer the questions, “What does silk painting mean to you? What does it mean to the silk artist? What does it mean in a transforming landscape?” The result is a dynamic group of silk paintings, sculptures and installations that explore a variety of themes and subjects.
The SPIN Signature Members Exhibition showcases the work of nine distinguished SPIN members who were invited for inclusion in this exhibit. The exhibit will be on view during the duration of the conference only, October 7-15, 2016, in the Geoffrey A. Wolpert Gallery.
The SPIN conference offers lectures, workshops and art exhibits with international artists. Various program packages are available including week, weekend and workshops only. No SPIN membership required. Housing and meal plans are available. For more information about the conference, visit: http://www.silkpainters.org/festival.php.
