The Heyde Center for the Arts is offering an opportunity to showcase fiber artworks. Fiber art refers to the use of fiber or textiles as a medium to express creativity and artistic value. It includes, but is not limited to techniques of quilting, weaving, embroidery, rug hooking, crocheting, knitting, and felting with more emphasis on visual appreciation rather than functional practical value.
The Heyde Center for the Arts is hosting Arrivals and Departures, a juried art exhibit exploring themes of movement, transition, and change through diverse artistic interpretations.
This interactive visual arts exhibit explores the restorative qualities, symbolism, and fragility of birds through more than 50 works in pastel, gouache, and beadwork sculpture.
This exhibit will showcase the talents of the artists to include quilting, weaving, embroidery, felting, knitting and more. Emphasis will be on the use of fiber for visual appreciation rather than functional practical value. Historically textiles were only seen for their utility such as clothing and household items.
This exhibit features the work of the Valley Art Association, a collective of artists whose collaboration and shared vision have enriched the Chippewa Valley’s cultural landscape for decades.
