One less than a hundred! That is how many entries we had in the judged
portion of The Exemplary this year. While the quantity of pieces increased
by 29%, the quality was as high as always and continues to underscore our
commitment to keep this exhibit as closely aligned and allied to the art
world as possible. The mission of NAN and The Exemplary has always been to
teach and promote embroidery as an "Art" form. Judging from comments made,
these pieces have proven to be a catalyst for those who came to view the
exhibit!
We thank everyone for sharing their work with us this year and look forward
to receiving more next year!
