Curation Notes for Artists -

Cultural Fiber - Civilization, Ethos & Strength of Character can be taken two ways:

One: The historical view of the significant impact that fiber arts have on a culture via apparel, protection, travel, myth, and identity.

Two: Your experience as a fiber artist and how you use fiber arts as a means to create community, a new culture, and express our moral fiber and character.

The exhibit is really about the importance of fiber in history and our personal history. The fiber arts are the oldest art media and has great impact on why our world has formed as it has. We wouldn't have discovered "new worlds" or developed computers without them. Human evolution and civilization owes a great deal to fiber arts.
