New York Fiber in the 21st Century focuses on artists in and near New York City who work primarily in fiber/textile materials or modes, including quilt-making, knitting, crochet, tapestry, weaving, felt making, rug hooking, embroidery, needlepoint, basketry, book arts, and metal work. This exhibition offers a unique survey and features emerging artists beginning to make a name for themselves, as well as mature artists whose work was recognized in the first major wave of New York fiber art in the 60s and 70s. All of the works were produced since 2001, and four artists - Gema Alava, Lisa Curran, Don Porcella, and Vered Sivan - have created large-scale installations for the exhibition. This survey includes forty-seven works by thirty artists and demonstrates the vibrant diversity of fiber art on the New York scene.

Member-to-Member Requests
Visiting Manhattan from Vancouver, CA
Ros Aylmer, an SDA member from Vancouver, Canada is traveling to NYC in April with some textile and Surface Design enthusiasts, and is wondering if our Manhattan based members have any suggestions for them while they’re in town. Their primary focus is on one-of-a-kind clothing design. They will be visiting museums as well as the garment district and as many fashion designers as possible. If you know of any textile related shows or studios they might visit, please send Ros an e-mail at rosaqed@shaw.ca. I’m sure she would greatly appreciate it.
