How to choose color to enhance fine art.
Did you ever wonder how colors are chosen for art gallery exhibits? Do you wonder about how to enhance your art? The evening will be a discussion on wall color and art, on hanging art to its best advantage, on selecting framing that works for the art and for your spaces. It’s a ‘how to’ for the collector in all of us! Guest speakers will include art gallery owners, framers, designers and color consultants.

A storied walk through history using textiles.
Many of the best design houses have extensive archives of patterns from which each new season is influenced. Our guest speaker for this session is taking us through the history of many of our favorite patterns with a look at how color has changed, how styles have been updated and why the classics remain among our favorites – think toile, paisley, stripes. How have the designs we use today been influenced by the textiles of the past?
