Dare 2B Square

It should be lots of fun. Maybe we'll have a square dance. You never know!

Hope to see you there!

Art Quilt Show

This month's  lobby show of Kate Burch's Art Quilts is in its final days.  

If you haven't been by to see the show in person, here are a few snippets of what you are missing.  

Don't forget the show will be up until Friday, so there is still time to stop

 in Village Artisans and catch it. 

Village Artisans outside of the Village

You know you can always see the talents of our members in our shop, Village Artisans, but quite frequently you can find their work on display in other venues.

The entire month of September you can find Kathy Moulton's work on display in Downtown Dayton. She will be showing at the Fifth Third Center as part of the Urban Nights event. 

Also, artisan, Sue Huff-Pleiman is the featured visiting artist at the Dayton Art Institutes's gift shop.  Congratulations to both Kathy and Sue!

Traveling Jules and Joan

Have you seen this awesome video but together by Traveling Jules and Joan on their recent visit to Yellow Springs?  (See if you can spy our Artisan Nancy too?)

Spring Cleaning

It has been a long, cold and gray winter, and we're all ready for Spring.  

Our artisans have been busy little bees sprucing up the shop.  Our cheerful Miss Jennifer, (with help from others) has been working on brightening things up with a fresh coat of paint.

Just look at the difference it makes in Pete and Ann's area. 

 

I can't wait to see how wonderful their work will look once it's finished.

Please stop by and see for yourself.
