  • Spheres Inspired by Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas at the National Quilt Museum
    QuiltMuseum.org/BlockOfTheMonth AUGUST 2019 Spheres inspired by Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas at the National Quilt Museum Quilt: Levitate by Danny Amazonas AUGUST 2019 Inspiration Levitate by Danny Amazonas Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas is on exhibit at the National Quilt Museum from July 12 – October 15. “I realized working with fabric is far more complicated than painting technique-wise. A fiber artist won’t be able to mix colors in a palette, but can collect an array of colors and shades of fabric in order to create a unique piece of art with a full spectrum of colors. I love to cut fabric in large chunks to show the beauty of textile designs, and those designers should be praised and credited as well. Every piece of my artwork is machine sewn with invisible thread free-motion stitches.” Danny’s use of color and value creates visual depth and movement in each quilt. This month’s Block of the Month pattern incorporates many of these elements so you can experiment with color, large-scale prints, and dimension. Page 2 AUGUST 2019 Quilter: Danny Amazonas “I was born in Taiwan and always loved art in Danny Amazonas all forms. As a jack-of-all-trades I tried painting, sculpture, making gold jewelry, professional floral design, and even got into international cuisine! In the early ‘80s, I was working with mosaic art using various materials. When I returned home to Taiwan in the ’90s, I discovered the world of colorful fabrics and the art of quilting. I perceived quilting as the art of sewing pieces of fabric together to create a beautiful design.

  • 2015 UNESCO Annual Report a Satellite’S-Eye View Locates Paducah Within a Network of Cities Around the Globe That Are Stitched Together by the Creative Arts
    2015 UNESCO AnnuaL REPORT A satellite’s-eye view locates Paducah within a network of cities around the globe that are stitched together by the creative arts. A bird’s-eye view reveals a weave of waterways hemming the city and guiding its history. A needle’s-eye view takes you into the intricate stippling of a quilt that’s much closer to artwork in a museum than artifact in a linen closet. — DR. FRANK HUTCHINS Associate Professor of Anthropology, Bellarmine University Above photo: portion of Ricky and Lucy by Karen Sistek (Owensboro, Kentucky) from the National Quilt Museum Collection Greetings from Paducah! Since our city’s being named as a Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art in 2013, I have enjoyed watching Paducah’s creative evolution both locally and internationally. Each year we are able to develop new partnerships, expand our cultural offerings, and create additional sustainable development. The designation as a Creative City has opened numerous doors to collaborate with cities around the world. The Paducah Arts Alliance was pleased to host Sandro Tiberi, papermaker from Fabriano, Italy in April 2015 as a participant of the Artist in Residence Program. We look forward to many years of partnership with Fabriano and to developing strong relationships with all of the Creative Cities of Crafts and Folk Art. Paducah has experienced many opportunities for collaboration and recognition throughout 2015, and we look forward to many more in the years to come. In 2015, Paducah was named as one of eight forward-thinking river cities in the Saturday Evening Post; new buildings for the Paducah School of Art and Design were completed; and we have enjoyed another year of success for QuiltWeek and the Lower Town Arts and Music Festival.

Paducah is a creative community, and sometimes creativity shows up in the most surprising ways. The cornerstone of creativity is a willingness to explore new or challenging ideas. The citizens of Paducah recently embraced two difficult conversations, one about race and the other about gender identities, worldwide concerns. This compassionate city had these conversations with dignity and respect. I attended my first UNESCO Creative Cities Network meeting in Enghien-les-Bains (Media Arts). I enjoyed blogging about the experience and sharing options for participating in the Network, including film festivals, literary contests and opportunities to engage in international arts festivals. In September 2017, Paducah welcomed the Creative Cities of Crafts & Folk Art for the first annual meeting of the sub-network and the first UNESCO Creative Cities meeting to be held in the United States. Focused on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, speakers led discussions on topics from tourism to economic development and natural resources. Paducah has “leaned in” to the Creative City designation, taking flight after five years with UNESCO as our guiding post.
