Be sure to visit the online exhibit and view all of the talented selected works! Beyond amazing to have felt recognized as an artistic medium.
It's open.
The first International Juried Fiber Art Exhibition is officially live.
When I first started planning this exhibition, I wasn't sure what would happen. Would artists enter? Would there be enough interest?
What happened exceeded every expectation I had.
Artists from around the world submitted work, and I was continually amazed by the creativity, skill, storytelling, and originality that came through those entries. Looking through the submissions only reinforced how much needle felting and wet felting deserve recognition as art.
A huge thank you to our jurors for lending their time, expertise, and thoughtful consideration throughout the selection process.
And to everyone who submitted work, thank you.
The judges had some incredibly difficult decisions to make. There were so many beautiful, thoughtful, and creative entries, and more than once I wished there was room to showcase even more of them.
If you submitted, I hope you're proud of what you created. You should be.
The gallery is now open with thirty selected works from artists around the world, including this year's Juror's Choice winner, Catherine Beddall's Otters in Love.
I'd love for you to take some time to explore the exhibition, read the artists' stories, and discover a few new favorite fiber artists.
You'll find the exhibition details in the comments below.
