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
Egyptian 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
