Spring Show '25 on Off the Wall Friday

Erie Art Museum Spring Show


Taking a break from my gushing over my new love of rug hooking, I want to share how great this year's Spring show was.  Every spring, the Erie Art Muesum hosts an art show that is open to artists who live within a 250 mile radius of Erie.     With no entry fee, it's very popular to enter and a great honor to get accepted.  That said, depending on who the guest jurist is really reflects how strong the show is.  

I'm happy to say that this year's juror, Keliy Anderson-Staley, curated the best show, I've ever seen.  So many strong brilliant pieces.  It truly was breath taking and inspirational.  Also nice to see that there were several fiber art pieces chosen.  Normally, I feel that the fiber arts choices (opinion alert) aren't always the strongest.  But this year...well... you be the judge....

Amazing right? 
The rest of the show was just as strong.  Finally, fiber art shown at the show that would hold up at other shows. 

I could go on - but ya know  -  I got a rug to hook...
