Artistree will be holding our first-ever, all-fiber-arts exhibit.
We encounter fiber and fabric in their functional forms every day. In this exhibit, we are looking to go "Beyond" function and to highlight the creative use of fibers and fabrics. We welcome submissions from fiber artists working in VT and NH whose work, while based in traditional techniques and craftmanship, goes beyond the everyday to express a unique artistic vision.
Please read the submission guidelines and procedure carefully. Contact exhibits@artistreevt.org with any questions about the suitability of your work for this show.
Exhibit Opens: Friday, June 20, 2025; opening reception 5:30-7:30
Exhibit Ends: July 19, 2025
ONLINE SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 31, 2025
Work Delivery dates: June 10-13 from 10am to 5pm
Artists working in fiber and fabric may submit either one large wall-hanging or up to three 2-D or 3-D pieces. (We are considering a wall-hanging of up to 42"wide and up to 60"long as large - if your piece measures larger, please contact us before submitting.) All 2-D work must be ready to be easily hung and, if unframed, must have finished edges or, preferably, be mounted on a panel. 3-D "soft sculpture" must be self-standing and will be displayed on pedestals.
We are looking for unique, one-of-a-kind work. We will not accept any work made from kits or commercial patterns. Mixed-media work will be accepted as long as the primary medium used is fiber or fabric. Please email an image and description of your pieces to exhibits@artistreevt.org if you are uncertain if your work will qualify.
Please find our submission form below. We advise you have all your information ready before preparing to fill out the form. Artistree will take 35% commission on any sales. The $15 entry fee can be paid through the button to the right, or upon delivery of your work.
Thank you for submitting to our Expressive Fibers exhibit!
