Peggy Lewis Gallery Exhibit - Expressions In Fiber

In people, fiber implies basic toughness, strength, or fortitude—it is our essential character. Fiber is not simple—it imparts elasticity and flexibility, but also tensile strength, texture and substance. In this invitational show, 18 area artists will create and display contemporary fiber works not previously exhibited in the Valley. Exhibit opening reception, generously sponsored by Kana Winery, is Thurs. July 31 from 5 to 7pm at the Allied Arts Center, 5000 W. Lincoln Ave.

Exhibiting artists include Deborah Ann, Debbie Bone, Ann Bowker, Robin Rankin Coffin, Carol Fletcher, Barbara Green, Allison Haapala, Carmen Petersen, Carol Perry, Carol VonStubbe, Carolyn Schactler, Jeanne Strater, Linda Iasella, Lucy Valderhaug, Nancy Rayner, Sally Fitch, Sylvia Brule, and Wendy Warren.

The Peggy Lewis Gallery:
The 1000 sq. ft. gallery at the Allied Arts Center displays eight major art exhibits each year that encourage artful thought and discussion in the Yakima Valley. Annually, almost 200 artists are involved, and thousands of patrons enjoy their creations. One of the most engaging exhibits, the annual Juried Art Exhibit, has been a destination for emerging and recognized artists since 1967. Peggy Lewis founded the gallery in 1965 and was its first chairwoman.
