October 25, 6:00 p.m. with K. Joy Peters & Gwendolyn Aqui-Brooks

An expressive collection of  fiber arts is coming to the Portman Fine Art Gallery at Glynn Visual Arts  in an installation titled  Together Again, for the First Time.  Six accomplished artists from Georgia and Florida will showcase a variety of pieces from contemporary to traditional style  in media ranging from applique (often referred to as painting with fabric) to collage, sculpture, art quilts, and more.  

Collectively, these artists have studied, taught, and worked in the arts across America. They are  K. Joy Ballard Peters, Janet Saboor, Tae Jackson, Gwendolyn Aqui-Brooks, Aisha Lumumba, and Sandra Teepen. Much of the vibrant art provides a study in color and texture; some celebrates family, culture, and history; and others focus on social messaging, advancing art focused on African American imagery and life experiences.
