“Dialogues:  Tapestry and Human/Nature” exhibition of tapestries by the 3-2-1 group will open on July 5 to August 20, 2010 at the South Broadway Cultural Center Gallery, 1025 BroadwaySE in Albuquerque, New Mexico in conjunction with the Handweavers Guild of America Convergence 2010.  Tapestry 3-2-1 Artists include:  New Mexico:  Elizabeth J. Buckley, Lany Eila and Katherine Perkins;  Canada:  Elaine Duncan and Linda Wallace;  and Australia:  Dorothy Clews.  We applied for an exhibition space almost 2 years ago with HGA and space being at a premium we did not receive notification until this past January that we had been invited to show at the South Broadway Cultural Center Gallery.  Our group meets virtually…with emails flying back and forth from different time zones and different environments, but always with the strong connection of weaving tapestry.  We were very excited and  surprised and  so we had to get ready to put on a major exhibition with 6 months notice.  Most everyone had work from the past and current work, but also plans for future work.  So hands flew at the looms, tapestries mounted for exhibition and conversations carried on planning for the show.  It is very exciting that shortly, Linda Wallace and I will be travelling to New Mexico to attend the festivities of Convergence, but also to see our work displayed with others in the group and realize the fruition of many hours at the loom.  We hope to see many people there where we can socialize and get caught up.  If you are planning to attend Convergence, please make time to come over to the South Broadway Cultural Center and have a peek.  I will post photos on this website of the event so those who could not attend, will have a chance to view the work.  More later….
