Because of the government shutdown, we were not able to see the basketry exhibit at the Smithsonian when we went to Washington. However, in my “downtime” of surfing the net, I came across this link, the American Art Museum’s Flickr page, (I found posted by the Georgia Basketry Association), of all the baskets on display at the Renwick Gallery! Yah!
I hope we are able to actually see it. We may be able to stop in on our way to New England in November. But in the meantime, it’s nice to see some of the exhibit if only in photographs. Eric’s basket is a creel which is in the pic featuring four creels. His is the one with the lid open.
So if you were wondering what the exhibit is all about, check out the link here!
Thank you for this information! I just read your blog. I am looking forward to spending time looking at each basket shown. I am truly going to enjoy the photos since going to Washington won’t work right now. Sorry you missed seeing the exhibit while you were there. You are very thoughtful to share this web site, thank you for your kindness. Janet.
Why thanks Janet! But it’s the flickr page for the Renwick exhibit and then the GBA posted it on their Facebook page. That’s how I found it! So really no work on my part. But wanted to make sure people knew it was out there! Thanks for reading!
You know if you come through you can stop here for the night. Christy went. She said it was amazing. I’m going in November.
