New Exhibition Opening – Carnegie Rughookers & Jacob Jaso

Opening Friday Sept 9th 5-7 pm

Carnegie Rughookers: Places we have been: Journeys in Rughooking is a broadly themed exhibit, conceived with the intention of encouraging each rughooker to create an original and personal work based on the memory of a passage or a place that is subjective and emotive.  The journeys represented in this exhibit are literal and figurative, physical and spiritual.  They are countries we have travelled to, places we have lived, passages in life and journeys of healing.  We invite you to open your mind and let your spirit soar as you travel with us.

Jacob Jaso [Ha-so] is a fiber/mixed media artist, from Austin, Texas: currently living and working in St. Stephen, NB, Canada. Jacob received his BFA: Studio Art, in 2015 from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas: where five works remain in the university’s permanent collection. His work Venus as a Boy is currently exploring accepted and expected gender roles, as well as representing a divine masculine/Feminine.
