Gone But Not Forgotten


Come see the beautiful First Place Fiber Arts winner "Gone But Not Forgotten" by Marsha Mefferd in the KACC's Eighth Annual Judged Membership show.  The impressive 3.5-foot 3-D sculpture is a silhouette of the female figure in perfect form.

"I am 62 years old and I remember when I still looked like that," said Mefferd, a retired art instructor.  The piece took form while she was in the midst of a torso series.  "I was thinking about how we all have to accept the changes our bodies make and then--there she was."

The Membership Show is a multi-media exhibit that features art from different mediums.  You'll see a gamut of of original works including woodwork, photography, paintings, porcelain and drawings.

This week is the last opportunity to see the fiber arts sculpture at the Kerr Arts & Cultural Center.  Two great exhibits, the Kerr County Camp Exhibit and the Annual Membership Show, both conclude Sunday, July 27th.

The KACC is commonly known as the premier destination of the Texas Hill Country.  When you enter Avery Gallery, you'll be surrounded by the best that the artist members of the KACC have to offer.  Be sure to make time to see the Camp Exhibit.  It showcases the rich history of Kerr County's military posts Camp Verde and Camp Ives.
