Looking at Tapestries: Views by Weavers and
Scholars
By Ruth Manning
Save the dates: Friday, March 21, through Sunday,
March 23, 2003, Chicago, Illinois, for a splendid retreat sponsored by
the American Tapestry Alliance and the Gloria F. Ross
Thanks to the help and efforts of many people in
ATA and the GFR Center, a gathering of tapestry weavers and scholars
will take Chicago by storm next spring. I'm sure you won't want to miss
it.
A block of rooms have been reserved for us at the
Hyatt Hotel, located along the Chicago River just north of The Art
Institute of Chicago. The committee has worked hard to develop a
program that will be stimulating, thought provoking and, most of all,
fun. We will immerse ourselves in a weekend of tapestry.
What's in store? The Fifth Annual Gloria F. Ross
Lecture will open the weekend on Friday night, speaker to be announced
in the next issue. Spend Saturday immersed in an organized series of
presentations directly related to the tapestry field, past and present,
led by weavers and scholars including Archie Brennan, Tina Kane, Jane
Kidd, Mary Lane, Sharon Marcus, Lotus Stack and Alice Zrebiec. Travel
to the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art to view ATB 4, enjoy dinner
and discussion.
Look forward to your Winter Issue of the ATA
Newsletter where registration and full details will be highlighted.
