Central Iowa Textile Artists Exhibition

The Ankeny Art Center is holding a fine art group exhibition for the Central Iowa Textile Artists (CITA) from August 5 through September 27, 2014. The opening reception is August 21 from 5-7pm. Both the exhibition and reception are free.

CITA was established in 2003, when six people with an interest in textile arts decided to meet on a monthly basis to encourage and challenge each other. Today there are thirteen members of this artists' group. γ€€Of the thirteen, three are published authors, four have pattern companies, six teach classes in various techniques, two have hand-dyed fabric and/or clothing companies, and all are award-winning artists.

Come and see these local artist's outstanding work, have a glass of wine and appetizers! It's a great way to start an evening before going out to dinner (or maybe a great excuse to go out to dinner afterwards).
