Former BJ staffer Connie Bloom will have her art quilts, also known as fiber art, at the Akron Arts Expo at Hardesty Park, 1615 W. Market Street, 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Hardesty Park also is the site for Taste of Akron, 6-10 p.m. Thursday. More than two dozen area restaurants will be selling appetizers, entrees and desserts.
Admittance to both events is free.
Connie plunged hands-first into fiber art several years ago. She is publisher/editor of QSDS Voice (Quilt Surface Design Symposium), which prints information and news about art quilting.
Connie also will be displaying her work at Artapalooza Aug. 28 in Green's Boettler Park, Sept. 11-12 at Kent Art in the Park and possibly Sept. 5-6 at the Taste of Hudson, where I discovered her post-BJ life last September.
Connie's gallery is at 111 N. Main Street in Akron, next to Luigi's Restaurant.
Connie and Bob Shields have been together for a decade and were married in 2008.
