Gallery I, II, & III – Quilt National 2009
Quilt National is a biennial, international, juried and judged quilt art competition. For more than 26 years, Quilt National has showcased the most exciting and innovative trends in the medium, demonstrating the transformations taking place in the world of quilting. Its purpose was then, and still is, to carry the definition of quilting far beyond its traditional parameters and to promote quilt making as what it always has been- an art form. The entire exhibit will travel to St. Charles for September 25-October 29, 2009, before being divided into three smaller exhibits and beginning its two-year world tours.

Gallery I & II – Fusion: Science and Art
An artist thinks like a scientist; experimenting and manipulating elements to create the perfect visual chemistry. Artists closely examine and observe the world around them to give the world new meanings, ideas, and classifications. Scientists, in turn, think like an artist in using creative thinking measures to attain their conclusions. Therefore, the natural marriage of science and art will be celebrated in a future exhibit of the Foundry Art Centre. .

Gallery III – Group 4 – Photography 2 – Julie Birkmeier, Roger Matsumoto, Heather Protz, and Mary Voss
