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
