Open About the judging process, Sauvion writes, "My first viewing
of the submissions for Fiber Open was pure pleasure. The technical
excellence of each piece is testament to the quality of the fiber
arts today. There were numerous techniques represented in the work
and I strove to include all the different media and techniques." Hall Gallery: Focus on Fiber II Small Art Quilts About the judging process, Charlotte Bird writes, "All the
work submitted tackled the composition issues creatively and more
than one exhibit could have been selected. My selections, like any
single juror's selections, reflected personal preferences. In general,
the compositions which felt most resolved were selected. Interesting
and well executed uses of techniques were selected". Without the foreknowledge of the artist's intent, the tapestries stand as objects of quiet beauty. The artist mixes his own dyes to create beautiful yarn palettes of wool, silk and linen. Exhibitions sponsored in part by:

SCIART WestGallery Hours: Thur-Fri, 1:00-4:00 PM May 16- July 10, 2009 Opening Reception:Saturday, May 16th, 1pm - 3pm SCIART West is exhibiting the artwork made by children who benefit from the programs at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme. Cecilia Salisbury, the Art Director of the The Club, contacted SCIART about a collaboration and finding artists who would like the idea of making art with the children. She also mentioned her hopes of exhibiting the artwork.
SCIART West is doing both. Through a grant from the Martin V. & Martha K. Smith Foundation we are funding artists to teach the children and we are going to exhibit the artwork thanks to the support of both Anne Oliver and the Smith Foundation.
The Boys & Girls Club helps youth reach their fullest potential through a positive environment, lifelong learning and quality programs dedicated to the arts, education, character and leadership development, health and education.
SCIART West is a non-profit organization that is working to provide
the community with a cultural hub offering first-class art exhibitions
of both local as well as national artists, Meet the Artist programs,
four studio spaces for working artists, and workshops for all ages.
In keeping with our Mission Statement, as a charitable contribution
to the community, all programs are offered free of charge to students. This exhibition and the Meet-The-Artist programs have been made possible by a generous grant from the Martin V. & Martha K. Smith Foundation. The Martin V. and Martha K. Smith Foundation was established by Martin V. "Bud" Smith and his wife Martha with the mission "To enhance the quality of life for the residents of Ventura County." Bud, the leading land and business developer in Ventura County for more than 50 years, and his wife Martha hoped that the Foundation would involve future generations of their family in continuing their appreciation of Ventura County and their care and concern for strengthening the community. Bud and Martha Smith's four daughters serve on the board of the Foundation, with Marjorie Tegland currently serving as Chair. Joining the Ventura County Community Foundation as a support organization in 1994, the Martin V. & Martha K. Smith Foundation funds nonprofits in Ventura County through an annual grant program, with an emphasis on organizations serving the Oxnard plain. Further details may be found on the VCCF website, at www.vccf.org. The creation of SCIART West was made possible in part by The Downtown Center for the Arts, a nonprofit organization involved with the redevelopment of downtown Oxnard and the support of Handel and Carol Evans.
