"The Power of the Pocket" Guild Challenge exhibit scheduled

The Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild will host a wearable art exhibit on Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 10:30 am. to 1:30 pm. The exhibit, entitled "The Power of the Pocket," is a collection of fiber art garments created by guild members in response to their 2010 Guild Challenge.

Inspired by the theme for Tennessee Presents Textiles, a biennial textile art event, the Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild Challenge was issued to guild members in January of this year. Throughout the year, Challenge participants have tested their fiber arts mettle to design and construct a garment which meets the Challenge requirements and expresses their personal aesthetic.

The exhibit and awards ceremony will be held at Senior Neighbors, 250 E. 10th Street, downtown Chattanooga. The public is invited and light refreshments will be available.

Join us on September 11 and celebrate the diversity, inventiveness and beauty of fiber arts!
