Chesterton Art Center is pleased to announce the return of two annual exhibitions in May, titled Fiber Art ’22 by Duneland Weavers’ Guild and Dream Big, the CAC Youth Art Exhibition.
Fiber Art '22: The Duneland Weavers’ Guild will be showcasing their work May 1-30 at Chesterton Art Gallery, in the front (upper) gallery space. An opening reception featuring the artists, items for sale, and prize drawings will be held on May 1, from 1-4 PM, with a style show at 2 PM.
The talented artists of the Guild have been busy creating original handwoven and knitted shawls, scarves, linens, wall hangings and more. You can purchase items on-site at the Art Center during the exhibition.
Weaving is a lively art in Northwest Indiana. The Duneland Weavers’ Guild has met monthly for more than seventy years, September through May. Current fiber artists, or those wishing to learn weaving are invited to join the Guild. Meetings are held via Zoom or in person at Three Moons Fiberworks in Chesterton. Visit dunelandweaversguild.org for details on membership and meetings.
Dream Big is the CAC Youth Art Exhibition, also running May 1-30 in the lower gallery space. An opening reception celebrating our young artists and their work is scheduled for May 21, from 11-2 PM.
CAC’s youth program focuses on modern art movements and changes each month. Students started in September with American Realism and are moving through the western art history timeline through to Pop Art this month.
Young artists are inspired each week by history, examples, materials, new skills, and techniques. This exhibition is a culmination of the efforts of instructor Ms. Jen Aitchison and the talented artists in the program that studied with her from September 2021 to April 2022.
