  Get to Know Us

   We were formed in June 2002.  We became a circle within DQN in March 2003.       We are a contemporary fiber arts group that includes art quilts, art dolls, wearable art, surface design and polymer clay. 
   Some of our members expand their horizons further and also work in jewelry, wood, knitting, crocheting, etc. 
   We meet monthly and have challenges and workshops that members take turns giving.
   M
eetings also include a information/business portion, Jump Start (a creative exercise), Show and Tell, and then a demonstration or presentation.
   As with everything else we do in the group, participation in the challenges and workshops is voluntary. 
  Show and tell is the highlight of our meetings. To showcase that fact it precedes the workshop during our monthly meeting.
     AQE meetings include an information/business portion,        Jump Start (a creative exercise), Show and Tell, and then a demonstration or presentation.
    Please bring a straight edge for the Jump Start.


​​None of us has arrived as it were at the great Art Pinnacle.

We encourage one another to create and take risks.

​We work hard to create a safe, friendly, and inspiring  atmosphere.

AQE is paying the entry fee for members who have paid their 2024 dues.  I you still need to pay your dues , please have them to our treasurer Lisa Jones by Monday November 6th. If you did not sign up for this event at Monday's meeting (Oct 23) please  respond to the email we sent by Nov. 6th. If you did sign up but want to make sure you are on the list feel free to respond to the same email as well.​ Details about the Museum visit.
When:  Wednesday, November 15, 2023
Time:  Starting at 11:00am
Where:  Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum, 5850 N. Park St., LasVegas, NV 891
Parking:  The parking lot for the Museum is entered off Tee Pee Ln which is one street east of N. Park St.  Parking is limited so carpooling is suggested; when our list is finalized an email will go out so you can contact other people attending.
 
There is a ramp available to the left of the entrance, off of N Park St.  A driver could drop off anyone needing the ramp before going to the back of the museum to park.
 
Some information about the museum
 
Discover a multidisciplinary artist known for painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, porcelain enamel fired on steel, stained glass, and computer art. Abbey is known for her abstract expressionism, figure, landscape, and non-objective subject matter.
 
"The infinite wonder of nature has had the greatest influence on my work. I have explored desert landscapes and have been deeply affected by rock formations, vistas, sunsets, plants and wildlife, rivers, and the colors and textures of secret canyons. These places communicate and resonate with my nature.” ~ Rita Deanin Abbey
 
For additional information please visit Rita Deanin Abbey's website -ritadeaninabbeymuseum.org.
 
It is truly an experience you will not want to miss. ~ Leslee Kolsoy, AQE member
