This past Thursday, we celebrated a beautiful opening for our current exhibition, Parallel Realities! This show was created by Kathryn Arango, who combined her many skills in art, travels, and writing, to bring to life a retelling of her time living in a little fishing village on Colombia’s Caribbean coast.

Arango’s hand painted art quilts wonderfully illustrate monumental scenes from her experiences, while her writing takes us along with her through this journey.

Gallery patrons are able to purchase her book, “Parallel Realities: Impressions from Coastal Cultures of Colombia” from our front desk for 10 dollars.

Lastly, we want to thank everyone who came by and helped opening night be such a success! Supporting artists and local galleries helps keep the arts alive and thriving.

Parallel Realities is free and open to the public until April 17, we hope to see you there!

The votes have been counted and it’s final, our winner for People’s Choice is artist Sue Grmm (@sue_grimm_art) with her piece, “Fins Up!”. The runner up was Stephen Kitchen with his work, “ 3 to 5 - Golden Rebirth”.

The WCA galleries want to thank everyone who has visited this exhibition and voted. The Golden Ratio has been a phenomenal success in celebrating the Wayne Center for the Arts 50th anniversary. This would not be possible without the exhibiting artists’ hard work either, so thank you for entering your pieces and helping create a great show.

Our next exhibition is the Jr. High Art Exhibit from February 14 through March 7. This exhibition will showcase high school students’ artwork from across Wayne County. We hope to see you there supporting these young artists’ creative endeavors!

To wrap up our artist highlights, we are looking at exhibiting artist Susan Shie. Her work is the largest in the Golden Ratio with a beautifully stitched and painted 5 ft x 5 ft quilt. Shie was inspired to create this work from current events, and wanted to have the inclusion of three strong women in her environmental statement. In person, one can be engrossed into the stories and information that are incorporated into this image.

“Use the Skillet: Knight of Pyrex Cups in the Kitchen Tarot”, Art Quilt (Stitched Painting on Cloth), NFS

Susan Shie has had a profound impact on the Wooster community not just through her work, but also by starting and running Wooster’s local artist group, WAGE. You can keep up with Susan Shie on her website, www.turtlemoon.com.

Today is the last day to see the Golden Ratio and cast your vote for People’s Choice.
