2. Announcing Oregon Member Profiles on Our SAQA Oregon Blog by BlogMaster Bonnie Bucknam
We are going to borrow a great idea from SAQA Southern California, and post profiles of SAQA Oregon members on our blog at http://saqaoregon.blogspot.com/p/saqa-oregon-member-profiles.html. We have almost 200 members in Oregon now, so this could be a very interesting project!
If you go to our blog you will see a notice about this project. We have compiled eight questions for you to answer, and we encourage you to "illustrate" your profile with photos, too. Details are in the post on the blog. Send your profile to Bonnie Bucknam at bonniebucknam@gmail.com. Bonnie will post the profile in a new section on our blog titled "REGIONAL MEMBER PROFILES." We can't wait to "meet" you!
3. SAQA Oregon Regional Exhibit – Blending Poetry and Cloth by Curator Leotie Richards
The SAQA Oregon regional exhibit Blending Poetry and Cloth just finished an exhibition at the NW Quilting Expo in Portland. Several people mentioned that they thought it was the best work in the show. The curators, Leotie Richards, Karen Spencer and Jean Wells are working to secure a spring date at Pioneer Place Gallery in Portland. Right now the quilts are in secure storage while we're fabricating rods that will be suitable for all gallery venues.
Upcoming dates for gallery venues are:
The Rogue Gallery in Medford, June 3rd - July 28, 2016
Willamette Heritage Center in Salem, Sept. 22 - Dec. 24, 2016
Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg, Spring 2017
Crossroads Carnegie Center in Baker City, Summer 2017
4. 2016 SAQA Oregon Regional Conference – September 22, 2016 by Elizabeth Bamberger
Save the Date! Planning is underway for our next SAQA Oregon Regional Conference! The Conference will be held at the beautiful, historic Willamette Heritage Center in Salem on Thursday September 22nd, followed in the evening by an Artists Reception for a three-month appearance of our current exhibit "Blending Poetry and Cloth" at the Center.
Our Planning Committee is now working on developing a Conference theme and program, finding speakers, sponsors and caterers, and working on the budget and logistics; but as many of you already know, it takes a village to make a conference happen, and we will be calling on you to help in whatever way your time and abilities permit. We'll update you regularly on what is happening and what we need, but if you would like to join us now, give us your input, and take an early part in conference preparations, please email Elizabeth Bamberger at elizabethbamberger@gmail.com, and I'll connect you with the right person. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
