We had a great turnout this afternnon for the reception at The Fineline Creative Arts Center in St. Charles. The show looks great, lots of good comments about being able to see the source photos transformed into the artwork.  We also had the SAQA Trunk Show in an adjoining room which made for a great experience - 2 for 1 exhibits!

My bad! The correct date for the opening is Saturday, October 19 from 2-4:30.

The time is almost here! We are hanging the Eye and the Needle exhibit this coming Wednesday at The Fineline Creative Arts Center in St. Charles, IL.

The opening is Saturday, October 19 from 2:00 to 4:30 pm. We would love to have everyone come and be part of that event.

The work is great, we have great support from the Fineline staff and we are almost ready to go!

What we need from YOU:

Please find an opportunity to come see the exhibit!
If you are one of the artists, please send out our postcards to everyone you can think of! Show your catalog to other people and other venues.
