Down Syndrome Quilt Displayed

The Down Syndrome Quilt, that was made in 1995, traveled the country for 2 years, has been brought out of retirement. It was exhibited at the Open Doors Show in Knoxville, TN on 8/24/08. Due to the overwhelming response it received, Bailey Fiber Art Studio is making it available to private organizations and public venues who whould like to display it.

Several support groups also inquired about having a quilt made to celebrate their specific diagnosis focus.

Feel free to contact Bailey@BaileyFiberArt.com if you are interested in either of these two projects.

VSA Young Soloist Show @ Dollywood

VSA has sponsored a performance that will be held on Oct. 10th at 10am at Dollywood.

The performance will feature our Young soloist winners who are young people who have competed in instrumental and/or vocal music. These finalists will represent the State of Tennessee in an international competition. At this performance, the performers will share their stories of living with a disability, the role of the arts in their lives, how to others can apply for this scholarship program - and of course perform. The performance will be an hour. However, the schools are welcome to spend the rest of the day as they like in the park.
