EOTSC20151204 COOS ART MUSEUM - Memories of Egypt



A FINE COLLABORATION WITH THE COOS ART MUSEUM... TUT IS COMING TO TOWN! Just in time for the Egyptian Theatre's 90th birthday celebration in November, the Coos Art Museum will be exhibiting the Oregon debut of the textile arts of Nancy Arthur Hoskins. The show is called "Memories of Egypt", and it will open October 9 th running through December 5th . Nancy is a former college weaving instructor living in Eugene. She is an internationally recognized author, teacher, and artist who has studied ancient Egyptian fabrics in more than 50 museums around the world including the original tunic of Tutankhamen in Egypt. She has replicated pieces from these studies which we will be seeing at her showing. Nancy previously exhibited and spoke at Vanderbilt and Yale Universities, and she is currently lecturing and teaching in London and Devon, England. Nancy was kind enough to allow the Theatre to use a photo of her recreation of Tut's tunic band on one of the ETPA’s Grand ReOpening invitations. We look forward to having Nancy's work exhibited at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay. Be sure to mark your calendars for this event and for the Egyptian Theatre's
