I can't say that I can boast about blogging lately because I didn't realize it was so long since my last post; however; this is a busy time of year as a lot of you are well aware.
About three weeks ago I received the good news that my mat "Spreading Fish to Dry in Outport Newfoundland" was bought by the City Art Procurement Program. Here is an excerpt from their newsletter:
"the goals of the City’s Public Art Program is to engage the public with art and these new acquisitions enable the City to further its goal by displaying art in all municipal buildings. Through this program, the City also invests in its local arts community and builds a collection that will be accessible to future generations as public art. "
Needless to say, I am VERY proud of this. ALSO, one of them "Outdoor Mummers Scene" was selected by the Craft Council of NL. and is displayed at Devon House in ST. John's...If any my blogger friends are in the area over the Summer Holidays, you may want to take a peek...If you do, I would appreciate your feedback...
Congratulations Anne! Very impressive. And its great to see a new post from you. I thought maybe you had forgotten us all :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the summer.

Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is the neatest rug and so deserving for that honor! I wish our area had the type of programs like yours to further the arts. It's been something on the back of my mind for quite some time now to get something started here. How wonderful that your community is doing these things to keep the arts and include rug hooking in the mix for future generations! You should be very proud! I am so very proud of you!
Hugs!

ReplyDeleteWe are having a on and off summer. And I haven't had to water the garden this year, because of the rain every day or so. Hope I don't get a potato blight!
