Join us in Indianapolis for the "Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting" exhibit at the Indiana State Museum. This traveling exhibit has been called "…a provocative and timely exhibition of international artists using fiber in unexpected and unorthodox ways. The artists in this exhibition are experimenting with forms never before dreamed of, using techniques in the most unorthodox and exciting ways, exploring new relationships between structure, design, color, and pattern, and using the materials and techniques to examine pressing contemporary issues that range from international politics and global problems to concerns of gender, race, and religion."

The exhibit features works from 27 artists, including Althea Crome, who specializes in miniature knit garments (1:144 scale). On Saturday, May 31st, Althea will present a lecture and demonstration exclusively for our members on how she creates her amazing miniature knits.

Also on exhibit at ISM is "Quilting Blocks and Binding Threads", a display of 36 Amish quilts from the museum's collection.
