Rochester Area Fiber Artist Show

Just opened at the Arts and Cultural Art Council's Gallery on 277 North Goodman Street, Rochester NY (just behind the Memorial Art Gallery and across from the Village Gate) is an exhibit of contemporary textile works.

The group calls itself RAFA (Rochester Area Fiber Artists), and it is about 50 members that started as the "Art Quilt Group" years ago from some members of GVQC. There are lots of wonderful art quilts to see, and it is a treat to see them installed so beautifully.

Many of the works are by Lake to Lake members, like Caren Betlinski, Caris Burton, Liz Scott, Val Schultz, and Paige Stoep.

The Gallery is opening with this show this month of January. Hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 4:00. A special OPENING will be Saturday, January 17th from 10:00 to 4:00, and a member of RAFA will be on hand to chat. You are also invited to attend the OPENING RECEPTION Friday, January 16th from 5:00 to 8:00.
