Fiber Art: Embracing the Craft
Long disparaged in the art world as mere “craft,” fiber art has been enjoying something of a renaissance in the last few years. Artists working with fabric and other fibers, such as Bisa Butler and Alexandra Kehayoglou, have gained international recognition, and the New York Times has declared that “fiber art is finally being taken seriously.” We say, it’s about time! What’s not to love about the beauty, versatility, and luxuriousness of fiber media?
In this show, Core Art Space will celebrate the skill, dedication, and ingenuity required to make beautiful art out of fiber materials. Send us your most exquisite weavings, quilts, embroideries, beadwork, fiber sculptures, or wearables—any artwork using a foundation of fiber materials and processes (including fabric, yarn, thread, beads, roving, rope, etc.; stitching, weaving, felting, quilting, knotting, wrapping, lacemaking, etc.) is eligible. Both traditional and experimental forms and techniques are welcome.
