Batik Guild Exhibition | Ended June 30th, 2024
Naples Botanical Garden in Kapnick Hall
The Batik Guild Exhibition opened the first week of May and signalled the opening of the Year of Batik project, a serious attempt to legitimise and promote Batik as an art process and medium.
The exhibition was in the Kapnick Hall at Naples Botanical Garden in Florida, situated in the middle of beautiful tropical gardens.
The theme of the show was ‘Patterns of Change’ – how the rapid and intense change in climate has impacted all life on Earth. The group of Batik Guild international artists have created batik art that visualises environmental changes experienced and observed in their personal lives; inspiring change and rousing hope in our communities.
There were over 400 attendees at the opening of the exhibition. People were asking questions. There were some sales on the night and more have followed since then. The exhibition is on till June 30th. Do try to visit it if you are in Naples. Many thanks to Muffy Clark Gill, Rosi Robinson and Anne Hanley for making this memorable show happen and be successful too.
