Summit Artspace is all about fiber this summer. An exhibit by the Contemporary Fiber Artists is in the Summit Artspace Gallery while upstairs the BOX gallery is featuring Millinery As Sculpture in the ‘big box’ and Crayon Batik in the ‘little box.’

Converging Visions – New Works in Fiber is a large and varied exhibit of quilting, beading, felting, resists and more. Included are a few round robin pieces that each member contributed to, along with a couple collections of small themed pieces. The Contemporary Fiber Artists are Jean M. Evans, Polly Gilmore, Fredericka A. Hagerty, Karen Hinkle, Kris Kapenekas, Mary Platis Kapenekas, Kathryn Markel Levy and Jean A. Markowitz.

On the third floor the Millinery Arts Coalition is exhibiting Millinery as Sculpture with work by Paula Singleton, Donald Wasson, Dee Hall and Lee St. Marie. Larry Walker’s crayon batiks fill the small gallery. Visit Artists of Rubber City on Facebook for an album of their work.
