Tall Tales and True

Family Holiday, Amity Point circa January 1972

We all have tales to tell.

Interesting snippets of personal history

that reveal a little about ourselves and the times

we have experienced.  Tales which can be fascinating

not only to ourselves but to others as well.

At the beginning of 2012 I held an

exhibition of altered book art at

Redland Museum Cleveland.

Since then, the Museum has

doubled in size and now boasts

2 large gallery spaces perfect for

sharing artists works with the community.

I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity

to coordinate an exhibition of artist books

and works on paper and to make the exhibition

relevant to the venue by setting a theme of personal histories.

Something everyone has but no one shares.

I have succeeded in procuring space for the exhibition at the Museum

and am currently in negotiations with the Exhibitions Officer

to set a date.  We have earmarked late 2014 in order to

give artists time to work on their submissions.

There won't be any fees to participate in this event

however artists will be responsible for the cost of shipping

for any works submitted.

Artists will also be able to sell their works if they choose.

(commission for the Museum for any works sold will be applicable).

I hope you will consider participating in this event,

whether you are local to the area or from somewhere far away,

we would love to include your artist book or work on paper

to share something of your personal history.

More details to come............
