BIG ART : Giving Wings & Wheels to Imagination held in the Main Gallery of The Barn | Woman’s Art Club Cultural Center from October 3 to October 11, was the brain child of Club Member Bobbi Thies and was designed and organized by Big Art Collaborative (BAC), consisting of Bobbi Thies and other club members: Bev Seibert, Judith Affatato, Kathryn Al-Lamadani, Bonita Goldberg, Claire Long, Gail Lundgren, Angie Meehan, and Marie Smith.
The goal of this exhibition was to showcase works that are usually excluded from other Woman’s Art Club exhibitions due to size. Instead of maximum dimensions, this exhibit required large minimum dimensions. Acceptance was competitive. Marie Rigney, art consultant at Eisele Gallery of Fine Art, curated the exhibition.
Works chosen for the exhibition were by Nancy Achberger, Dawn Boehmer, Lauren Bosse, Deirdre Dyson, Catherine Fishbaugh, Sheila Fleischer, Bonita Goldberg, Martha Howard, Ann Kromer, Hima Lanka, Ivanka Lempitskiy, Carol MacConnell, Elizabeth Stoehr, Doris Uhlman, Trish Weeks, Kathleen Wilkins, McCrystle Wood & Melissa Lusk, and Ruthe Wyman
