Poetic License: The Art of Joan Schulze is a retrospective of the prolific 40-year career of Bay Area fiber artist Joan Schulze. This exhibit surveys Schulze's artwork from her early art quilts to the most recent fiber art collages that fuse photographic images with painted textures and mark-making for symbolic or suggestive effect.

Navajo Weaving in the Present Tense: The Art of Lucy and Ellen Begay is the first retrospective exhibition of contemporary textile art by Navajo weavers Lucy Begay and her daughter Ellen Begay. Drawn primarily from the private collection of Gary Beaudoin, the exhibit will feature approximately eighteen, one-of-a-kind artworks woven by Lucy and Ellen over the past twenty years.

The Begays' work is strongly rooted in and draws inspiration from what has become known as the Burntwater Navajo rug weaving style, one of the last regional styles to evolve in the mid 20th century. This style combines the bordered, central geometric designs of Granado and Two Grey Hills with rich vegetal colors combined with natural sheep's wool. Their masterful weaving technique and handling of perspective, scale and color is as sophisticated as academically trained studio artists who've chosen to work in the fiber field.
