44^th Juried Annual Exhibition 

—Miller Art Museum presents Textile Tableau: An Exploration of Painting with Fibers

Opening January 18-February 24, 2020

Opening reception is Saturday, January 18^th from 3:00pm -4:30pm, and is free and open to the public.  

Textile Tableau: An Exploration of Painting with Fibers present artists who are usurping the use of paint by incorporating the methodologies and canons of painting as starting points for their greater exploration into fiber-based work.   Painting with needle and thread, these artists create textile tableaus that explore established genres like portraiture, abstraction and landscapes.  Using a variety of mediums, works display techniques in quilting, weaving, embroidery, felting and wearable art.

This exhibition features works by eight participating artists including: Susan Hoffmann, Sister Bay; Wendy Carpenter, Fish Creek; Sandra Martinez, Jacksonport; Heidi Parkes, Milwaukee; Sandra Wysock, Madison; Pam Collins, Staples, MN; Peter Horjus and Laura Shrewsbury, New Orleans, LA.

Also debuting in the Gerhard C.F Miller Gallery on the museum’s upper level is a permanent installation recreating Gerhard C.F. Miller’s painting studio featuring Miller’s studio furniture, personal library of art books, painting equipment, unfinished works and more on loan from Miller’s Grandson, David Utzinger

The Mezzanine Gallery highlights works from the permanent collection and new acquisitions.  On view are works by Curt Frankenstein, Austin Frasier, Doris White, William Pribble and spotlighting the art and life of Ruth Grotenrath.
