Color: Classic to Contemporary

The Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild presents Color: Classic to Contemporary, an exploration of the fearless use of color in fiber arts. Founded in 1955, the guild has a rich history of supporting excellence in textiles and fiber arts. The Biennial of Textiles exhibit is the longest continuous running juried show in the Southeast. The 2019 exhibition is open to artists working in all fiber media and will be held at the Hudgens Center For Art & Learning in Duluth, Georgia, from May 4 - July 27, 2019. An opening reception will be held on May 11, 2019, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. The exhibition includes monetary awards.

Color: Classic to Contemporary invites artists to explore how color influences life and the world around us.
