The Carnegie Art Center (CAC) will host two exhibitions during the month of October. The Fiber Design Forum will have their members show “Expressions in Fiber” on display in the Rotunda Gallery while Michael Piniewski’s Astrophotography will be in the East Gallery.
“Expressions in Fiber” is an exhibition that explores the work of the Fiber Design Forum (FDF) members. The FDF is a community of fiber artists with a wide range of skills and techniques that include stitching, weaving, quilting, dyeing, embroidery, and fabric painting/printing, knitting, crochet, and more. Inspiration comes from many sources; natural organic forms, history, figurative images, environmental issues, symbolism or personal experiences/emotions. The FDF meets monthly at the Carnegie Art Center to discuss this art form and share skills.
Michael Piniewski has been practicing Astrophotography for the past three years. He is inspired by astronomical objects, celestial events, and areas of the night sky that reveal the beauty of space. Piniewski will host a free artist talk on Thursday, October 17 at 6PM where he will discuss his process and artistic journey.
