Opening Reception: Fiber Forward
The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents Fiber Forward, a group exhibition featuring 38 women and non-binary artists working in fiber. Curated by Tina Villaveces, the exhibition runs from May 30 through June 28, 2026, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 30, from 4 to 6pm. An artist talk is scheduled for Saturday, June 27, at 2 pm, as part of Upstate Art Weekend 2026, in which The Gallery at Yellow Studio is a participant.
Fiber Forward presents work that navigates the boundaries between tradition and innovation, material and meaning. The exhibition showcases fiber art as a site of experimentation, examining how artists are reimagining fiber as a vehicle for critical inquiry, spatial intervention, and personal expression. The works on view include sculpture, installation, embroidery, weaving, and mixed media, alongside activist craft kits, quilts made from repurposed domestic textiles, and large-scale fiber installations. Many of the artists work with found, secondhand, or repurposed materials, bringing new life to what has been discarded or overlooked.
