The Art of Fiber and Textiles
February 19
An event every week that begins at 12:00 am on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, repeating until February 21, 2025
The Art League is proud to present “The Art of Fiber and Textiles,” an exhibition that showcases the innovative spirit and enduring traditions of these versatile mediums. The Art League has invited artists from Local Cloth to participate in this special exhibit giving our community an opportunity to view a wide variety of material and design. The Art League was fortunate to escape significant damage from Hurricane Helene, but Local Cloth was almost completely destroyed by flood waters and debris, which knocked out their front door and windows and rose inside the walls to more than 10 feet.
The exhibit will run from February 1 through February 21, 2025, at The Art Place gallery, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of ancient traditions and contemporary artistry. An opening reception will allow visitors to meet the artists on February 1, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
The exhibition aims to highlight works rooted in traditional fiber materials, structures, processes, and history while celebrating pieces that push the boundaries of fiber art by exploring unexpected relationships with other creative disciplines. From felted sculptures to intricate embroidery and multimedia assemblages, “Material Wealth” presents fiber art as a dynamic and evolving creative expression.
