Contemporary Fiber in Florida2020: Walkthrough with Curator Cindy Bartosek

The artists featured in the exhibit at Florida CraftArt, “Contemporary Fiber in Florida 2020,” are breathing a new life into these age-old techniques. Fiber and textile traditions are universal and cross-cultural, and they are and always have been an integral element to our way of life. These labor-intensive, physical pieces cross boundaries and join the worlds of conceptuality, spirituality and craft by highlighting the element of the handmade. This exhibition is an exploration into a medium that is often misunderstood and is a beautiful representation of how vibrant the world of fiber is for artists in Florida.
"Contemporary Fiber in Florida 2020" opened March 13, 2020 at Florida CraftArt in St. Petersburg, Florida. **SHOW EXTENDED!** The exhibit will remain on view until June 20, 2020.
