Hi Friends, I just wanted to share with you the video I made after sending in my most recent Art-o-mat series.

Women Works Art Show

Short Notice! Enter TODAY!
Here is the link
Women’s Works™ is a juried fine art exhibit presented annually by the Northwest Area Arts Council (naac). The show, which coincides with Women’s History Month, has become a much anticipated event in northern Illinois. It is our goal to focus on women artists of North America. We provide an opportunity which showcases the creative efforts of women artists.

21st Anniversary Exhibit of Fine Art by Women – Exhibition takes place at the Old Court House Arts Center on the Historic Town Square in Woodstock, Illinois.

The strength of the show is in you and your participation. Women’s Works has become a much anticipated area event, and the Gala Night Opening Reception sees an excess of 500 people filling the galleries. The show enjoys excellent media coverage and exposure. Along with the Opening Reception, numerous other events are held at The Old Court House Arts Center during the exhibition. Concurrent with this, our Twenty First Anniversary Women’s Works is the Twelfth Annual Little Women’s Works featuring (and nurturing) the artistic achievements of young women. Information on that event is available separately. Please visit the naac web site at www.naac4art.org.

Would anyone from the group like to organize a knitting graffiti mission?
