Returning to the Meadows Gallery at the Patterson Appleton Arts Center (PAAC) in February 2024 is the 37th annual Materials: Hard & Soft exhibition. Opening on the evening of Feb. 2, the internationally acclaimed MHS show pays homage to its founder, Georgia Leach Gough, who sought with the inception of this exhibition to elevate the art of craft and use of craft materials. The 75 pieces selected from the nearly 300 submissions for 2024 will feature works from seven categories: clay, fiber, metal, glass, paper, wood and mixed media.
