Museum of Northwest Art ~ October 18th - January 4th We are thrilled to present master glass artist Sonja Blomdahl, on the last stop of her traveling exhibit, bringing this major 25-year retrospective home to the Northwest. This exhibit features more than 30 blown glass vessels, luminous in color and graceful in form - hallmarks of Blomdahl's distinctive style. "As an artist, my focus has been with the vessel. In the vessel, I find the form to be of primary importance. It holds the space. In a sense, the vessel is a 'history of my breath;' it contains the volume within. If I have done things correctly, the profile of the piece is a continuous curve, the shape is full, and the opening confident."
We are also proud to introduce Shelley Muzylowski Allen with her first solo museum exhibit, Modern Menagerie. Muzylowski Allen creates animal-themed glass sculpture. Her work demonstrates fluency with equine anatomy, with strong and graceful forms in a palette of earthy, deep, and metallic hues. Vital to Muzylowski Allen's creative process are her surroundings - the rural landscapes of Skagit County.

La Conner Quilt Museum~ September 24, 2008 through December 28, 2008
"SiX Stories" An Exhibition of Contemporary Art Textiles "SiX Stories" is the work of: Bobby Britnell Laura Kemshall Linda Kemshall Edwina MacKinnon Catherine Nicholls Marie Roper The artists are from the United Kingdom and Canada and this is the first time their work together will be shown in the United States. They believe that all people are affected by the "stories" that they encounter as they travel through life. These could be the stories they hear as children, the oral history of a place and time, or the everyday stories that come to them them as they move through life. Each member of SiX has challenged herself to think about stories, legends and story telling and to then translate the mental images that the stories conjure into drawings, paintings and textile art. An important priority for SiX is to produce stimulating new work for exhibition while working together as a group and to strive to maintain the unique personal identity of each member. The design process is a vital element of the artists' work and where the venue permits, exhibitions will attempt to illustrate this by including sketchbooks and other source material alongside final pieces, so telling of the artistic journey as well as the final destination. The La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum is located at 703 S. 2nd St., (360) 466-4288. Open Wednesday - Sunday 11-4.
