Submissions – Fiber Forward: An Open Call to Women and Non-Binary Artists for Fiber Art
The Gallery at Yellow Studio invites women and non-binary artists to submit work that challenges conventional perceptions of fiber art. We seek innovative approaches that expand the medium’s possibilities; work that complicates boundaries between decoration and concept, tradition and innovation, or material and meaning.
This exhibition will showcase fiber art as a site of experimentation, examining how artists are reimagining thread, fabric, rope, and other fibrous materials as vehicles for critical inquiry, spatial intervention, technological integration, or performative practice.
