Now accepting submissions- Fibers of My Being

We are now accepting submissions for Fibers of My Being, an exhibition focusing on the intersection of fiber art and mental health wellness. Fiber art can be therapeutic- allowing the practitioner to slow down, enter a flow state, and calm their nervous system.  

From “stitch and bitch” clubs to the quilts of Gee’s Bend, fiber art has continually been incorporated into community, connection, and protest. Artists are invited to submit work reflecting on mental health, belonging, and well-being. 

Fibers of My Being will be curated by Chloe Russell-Chang. View Chloe’s instagram here.

All submissions must include fibers or textiles. Sculpture, installation, wearable art, as well as hanging and floor works will all be considered. Work must have been completed in the past 5 years.
