A featured exhibition of Confluence: 2011 International Surface Design Association Conference
Acknowledgements The Surface Design Association Members’ Show is a biennial exhibition, held in conjunction with the Surface Design Association conferences. The 2011 version of the Members’ Show was an open-call exhibition showcasing the creativity of SDA members, each of whom interpreted the conference theme, Confluence, in a piece measuring 12” x 28” in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. Merge and Flow was judged by Barbara Lee Smith and Barbara Martinson. Merge and Flow was exhibited concurrently with Confluence, the 2011 International Surface Design Association conference, presented by the Surface Design Association and Textile Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
