Second Tuesday Gallery Reception Features Color Palettes and Fiber Art

Join Marco Island Center for the Arts for Second Tuesday September 14 at 5:30 PM and enjoy exhibitions that highlight the artistry of the fabric art of Peggy Keigley and the unique appeal of local artists’ color palette. In the Lauritzen and Rush Galleries a Call to Artist (CTA) exhibition features the choices of color palettes used by artists. Palettes: Warm, Cool, and Complementary highlights the work of over 30 local artists that use their palette to convey emotion, energy, and vibrancy.

In La Petite Galerie the Art Center welcomes fiber Artist Peggy Keigley. A 25-year veteran quilter, Keigley has taken her passion for fabric, sewing, and quilting to a new level the past six years with Fabric Art. This type of art is a departure from traditional quilting that allows Keigley to utilize more freedom in design with her stitching and fabric.

Like a painter uses lights and darks to give a piece depth, Keigley uses her fabric colors and her stitching to give each of her unique fabric art pieces depth and detail. Making these one-of-a-kind pieces is like painting with fabric and thread rather than paint and brush.

This unique La Petite exhibition will open to the public with a Second Tuesday Gallery Reception on September 14 at 5:30 PM and will remain throughout the month closing on October 5, 2021.
