Sequoia Airs Its Dirty Laundry
in January
 | Put a Song in Your Heart,
Carolyn Pettitt |
Does the phrase "dirty laundry" make you think of dark secrets, or the possibility that something's hidden? The secret that Sequoia artists want you to know is that art can be made from anything and, with a little creative thought, can be made to illustrate any theme. The artists of Sequoia have used their imaginations to create a unique extra show for the month of January. They have made pieces out of clay, paper, fabric, and canvas to illustrate what "dirty laundry" might mean. We have asked our artists to get crazy with ideas. The pieces will be installed on clotheslines suspended over the main hallway of the building, hung with clothespins. The show will open on January 6, and hang throughout the month. Come and have fun looking at some very creative pieces.

JANUARY All Member Show
Mixing color, texture, materials and dimension together, this January exhibit showcases all our member's creative talent. Each artist selects their favorite pieces to feature in their gallery space. Every year, the show has a different "look" reflecting the current generation of active Sequoia members. But the one thing that never changes is the spirit of cooperation and friendship that pervades our Sequoia community of 30 member artists, including 13 studio artists, and many teachers, volunteers and friends.
