Nature's Canvas Opening Reception
2026-05-29 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Windgate Museum of Art
Step into a world where nature inspires the hand of the maker. From the dawn of prehistoric creativity to the present day, humans have harnessed the beauty of wood and the versatility of fibers to craft extraordinary works of art. Join us in paying homage to the age-old tradition of artistic expression through wood and fibers.
Nature’s Canvas is a joint exhibition by Studio Art Quilt Associates and the American Association of Woodturners. It is curated by Carol Sauvion.
