“Vote” by Marla Varner

The exhibition’s theme supports the enrapturing beauty and inspiring awe of inclusive, fostering fiber mediums that motivate earth-moving collaboration, and build super friendships to create opportunities to learn, exhibit, and potentially build small businesses. Admiration of toil and talent cultivates the evolution of excellence within one’s personal journey, learning and expressing themselves uniquely while being supportive of the efforts of fellow artists. Striving for wonder and encouragement, we celebrate fiber artists who boldly share their art with courage and fortitude, open to both copying and constructive criticism. Their hero’s arc includes the strength of inquisitiveness, leading to the surprising beauty of growing imagination and the capability to compose original creations using fused fibers, artistic adventures, and superpowers for good.
