Recently, SAQA Atlantic members were invited to illustrate the concept of "commotion" and express what it means to them. Is it loud and overwhelming? Pandemonium or turmoil? Or exciting, lively, and full of unexpected delights?
Juried by Lee Cripps, Curator of the Craig Gallery in Dartmouth, the result is an exciting,contemporary fibre art exhibition containing 27 pieces by 16 artists.
"Commotion" opened this week at the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design, in Sydney, Nova Scotia. It will remain there until July 3 and then will be on tour within Atlantic Canada until 2023. Information on the exhibition's opening hours and COVID restrictions in the gallery, can be found here.

Above are two of the lovely quilts in the show. They give a sense of the broad range of ideas invoked by the word "commotion". Stay tuned for more, and for information on future sites and dates for the exhibition.
