Among them is Milford artist Lin Elmo\, whose works Watch Your Face…In the Face of the Watch and Stitches in Contrast are included in the exhibition. Additional artists hail from New York\, Massachusetts\, and Colorado. \nThe exhibition was juried by internationally recognized fiber artist Betty Busby of Albuquerque\, New Mexico. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design\, Busby initially worked in ceramics before establishing a ceramic tile manufacturing studio in Los Angeles. Since 2003\, she has worked full time creating fiber art and teaching. \nA catalog of the Circular Thinking exhibition will be available for purchase at the reception and online. After its Milford presentation\, the exhibition will travel to the Windham Textile Museum from May 2 through June 28\, Brookfield Craft Center from July 25 through August 22\, and Wilton Library from August 31 through September 18. \nStudio Art Quilt Associates is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting art quilts as creative visual works that are layered and stitched or inspired by the layered textile tradition.

SUMMARY:Tyrone Shoelaces Concert at Milford Arts Council
