Fiberart International 2022

Fiberart International 2022 seeks to exhibit the best of contemporary art and invites submissions reflecting a wide range of works related to the fiber medium. The exhibition is recognized around the world as a benchmark that documents trends and innovations in the field. The goal is to include innovative work rooted in traditional fiber materials, structure, processes and history, as well as art that explores unexpected relationships between fiber and other creative disciplines. The exhibition runs June 3 to August 20, 2022 at Brew House Association and Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Jurors include Chiachio & Giannone, Jessica Hemmings, and Nnenna Okore. The Fiberarts Guild will present over $5,000 in cash awards. A full color catalog will be published, and exhibiting artists will receive a complimentary copy.
