Print Exhibition: Fiber Art

print exhibition: The show, up at New Bedford Art Museum / Art Works! from Jan. 25 to March 19, is FAN's first venture into presenting their print exhibition in a real-world venue, according to NOW Magazine. Fiber Art Now received submissions from artists around the world in response to the call for entries. Excellence in Fibers, an exhibition of selected works drawn from the second annual international juried print exhibition published by Fiber Art Now magazine, presents some of the most exciting and innovative work being done today in the world of contemporary fiber art. The prestigious panel of jurors were Emily Zilber, Curator, MFA Boston; Gerhardt Knodel and Norma Minkowitz, both internationally recognized fiber artists and icons in the field of fiber; and Melissa Leventon, principal of Curatrix Group Museum Consultants and a former curator at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Within the broad category of fiber, the show includes weaving, sewing, applique, embroidery, basket making, sculpture, crochet, felting, screen printing, joomchi and knotting. Of the over 50 works in the print exhibition, 31 were selected for the show at NBAM/AW. Excellence in Fibers runs the gamut from established artists to newcomers; from traditional age-old basket weaving techniques to digital manipulation and printing; from familiar sewing and quilt making to laser cutting techniques.
