EXHIBITIONS on our clothesline

Beginning in January of 2025 we will be hosting a series of exhibitions of needle art at the Polka Dot Cafe. I have worked with needles in my hands since the age of three, and designing with fabric has been central to my adult life.  Thus, I would like to celebrate with other like minded artists here at the cafe.

Needle artists are encouraged to reach out to me at PolkaDotCafeNJ(at)gmail(dot)com for the guidelines and application process. Or call the cafe. 

This is a collection from various needle artists.  It's very exciting and will introduce the viewer to many different aspects within the genre.

This exhibition will focus on the delights of spring and rebirth in needlework.  Needle artists are encouraged to apply.

The Stars & Stripes exhibition focuses on each artist's interpretation of the theme, whether it is Americana or celestial.  Needle artists are encouraged to apply.

Needlework applications on pillowcases is the nexus of this exhibit.  Positive messages are encouraged. Needle artists are encouraged to apply.

This is our first challenge to needle artists.  The premise is to take an apron and use it as part of wearable art that is not an apron.  Needle artists are encouraged to apply.

Socks, shoes, slippers, all must be able to hang on our clotheslines.  Whatever it is, it should make you want to dance when you wear them! Needle artists are encouraged to apply.
