Complimentary Tickets Available to Architectural Digest Home Design Show

How does a Scarsdale woman end up exhibiting unique tapestries from Kazakhstan at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show in NYC? Meggy Wagner spent four years living and working in Kazakhstan where she met an incredible duo of tapestry artists and was captivated by their art form. After moving to the US and starting a family, she pursued a dream and founded Art beyond borders right here in Scarsdale in 2006.

Alibay and Saule Bapanov are leading textile artists in their home country of Kazakhstan and offer a fresh take on an ancient art form. They create intricate, hand-woven tapestries through an inspired blend of centuries old skills and modern artistic expression. "From design to weaving, they do everything themselves, with only a couple of experienced weavers assisting them in their studio" says Meggy Wagner. "Whether you prefer a more decorative or more abstract piece, small or grand, the Bapanovs have a broad range of expression to fit any interior. Each of their creations is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. You can also commission your own design! I'm very proud to exclusively represent the Bapanovs here in the United States."

You can see the tapestries at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, March 17 - 20, Pier 94 in NYC, at booth M 107. Both Alibay and Saule will be present at the show. They will demonstrate weaving on a small vertical loom, so you can get a hands-on impression how these beautiful pieces are made. Also available will be a selection of hand-felted shawls by Saule. Prices for the tapestries start at $800, the shawls range from $80 to $250. For complimentary tickets to the show, email [email protected].
