The Mod Squad Display is up and running at the Manley Art Center Gallery!

 Now appearing for the month of February -

 the Famous Creative Mod Squad Artists!


It was a busy week, looked almost like herding cats ... but our whole Squad jumped in and made quick work of it. Thanks, Mod Squad-ers for your great attitude and sense of humor - we can rest on our laurels for a minute or two!!  But our February meeting is next week ... do you have "Gifting" done???

Besides Self-Portraits, our display includes a selection of our work from 2019 - 2020.  Some of our favorite work /challenges were not selected.  And I tried to keep the number from each artist evenly as possible.  You know how that goes!!

So these pictures are from taking pictures of everything turned in and available for the show by challenge.  Even though we didn't meet much during 2020, we had 48 challenges!

I was told we could only display 50 out of 86!!  Gallery Manager wouldn't count them as groups / categories (15 groups)  But of course, when we got the 50 up, it really looked like a half-done job.  She allowed us to add more - so we had to go out and buy more dowels, (they didn't get painted grey.)  Then mount 4 more groups on the hanging ribbons ... without the cutting mats for grids that we used the day before to prep.  

We ran out of ribbons - so we ended up with 65.  It turned out well. But most of us were exhausted.

The members were encouraged to bring Fiber Art; P and I both entered something.
