I entered two pieces in the Women's Art Society of Montreal's show this weekend and this one won 2nd prize. I am very chuffed, but also glad to have had a textile piece place as this is traditionally a painters organization and it's only in the last 5 or so years that textile art has been included. There are four of us that enter work in that medium.
Oh Wow, Dianne! How wonderful. Serious congrats. So pleased for you. Long may they recognise textiles.

What I didn't realize until I went to pick up my pieces at the end this afternoon is that Heather received an honourable mention. So kudos to her too!
ReplyDeleteEven better - congrats to you too, Heather. You girls are doing a great job of spreading textiles among the cognoscenti.

What great news! Well done to both you and Heather. They were so nervous of letting textiles in, and you've both proved it was the right decision.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Congratulations to both of you.
ReplyDeleteHurray for you both!
ReplyDeleteBravo! So wonderful to read about textile artists being recognized!
