The Gallery at Yellow Studio invites women and non-binary artists to submit work that challenges conventional perceptions of fiber art. We seek innovative approaches that expand the medium’s possibilities; work that complicates boundaries between decoration and concept, tradition and innovation, or material and meaning.

This exhibition will showcase fiber art as a site of experimentation, examining how artists are reimagining thread, fabric, rope, and other fibrous materials as vehicles for critical inquiry, spatial intervention, technological integration, or performative practice.

Submissions Open: Wednesday, March 11
Submissions Close: Wednesday, April 8 Sunday April 12
