Unpredictable Outcomes, Oregon SAQA Conference, Oct 18th, Eugene, Oregon

Unpredictable Outcomes, Oregon SAQA Conference, Oct 18th, Eugene, Oregon.

“Curatorial Conundrums” – Our afternoon speaker, Michael Fisher, Executive Director of the Maude Kerns Art Center (MKAC) in Eugene, will share stories of his eight years as the gallery curator at MKAC. Michael has been responsible for organizing, hanging, and installing numerous exhibits involving all kinds of media, including fiber art. As you might expect, seeing a piece in digital form during jurying is very different from having that piece in your hands and deciding how and where to display.  Come and hear how he solved some of his conundrums.

Showcase Exhibit – Conference participants have the opportunity to show and sell (if desired) a 12 x 12 mini quilt on the day of the conference and at an exhibit to be held at the Eugene Textile Center for a few weeks following the conference. See your Welcome letter for exhibit guidelines and entry form.

Lodging – The Phoenix Inn is holding a block of room for conference attendees until Sept. 17th. If you are planning to stay in the Inn, please make your reservation as soon as possible. The rooms will not be held past Sept. 17th.

Sponsorships – Individuals can help support the Unpredictable Outcomes conference and other SAQA Oregon events with a $25 sponsorship. Your name will be listed in the Conference program. You may also advertise your business in the printed program.  Please contact Daisy Schrock schrock32@gmail.com about individual sponsorships and advertising rates.
