The May Show. . . for many of us that used to be a grand art show at The Cleveland Museum of Art consisting of works, only from local artists. It was highly anticipated as well as attended and probably started many Cleveland artists along their road to success.
In 2015, the Cuyahoga Weavers Guild is having a May Show. We will once again be at the Beachwood library during the month of May. We will be in the same room, however there have been changes at the library so there are no small entrance cases as have been in the past. That means we have need for many LARGE weavings to fill all that glorious space. Here are some particulars:
- Month of April, 2015— Please bring any items you want to put in the show to any of our meetings, study group , our workshop or the regularly scheduled meeting on April 23rd. Please have them labeled with the following:
- Your Name, city where you live, title of the piece, weave structure, kind of yarn or materials used, value for insurance, and if it is for sale, price.
- If for some reason you are not able to attend any of the meetings, please contact Patty to make arrangements for pick up.
- Everything must be to Patty by Monday, April 27th, PLEASE!
- We will hang the show on Friday, May 1st, 2015 beginning at 12:30 pm until 5:00 pm. We must adhere to these times as the room is scheduled for various other meetings and activities.
- Any last minute primping can be done on Saturday, May 2nd between 9:00 am and 12 noon.
- Reception, Sunday, May 3rd, 2015 2:00 – 4:00 pm. Please bring a contribution to our snacks and goodies table by 1:30 pm.
- Special Note: Our regularly scheduled meeting on May 21st, 2015, 11:30 am, will be in the meeting room with our show.
- Take down will be Saturday, May 30th, 10:00 am. If you can collect your items at that time, wonderful. Otherwise, Patty will take them and distribute them at our regularly scheduled meetings in June.
This winter is a fine time to continue weaving for this show. We need works from everyone–we love anything you have done, the more the merrier. And, who knows, you may be on your way to greatness as were many of the intrepid artists from CMA’s shows of the past.
