February and March 2023 bring our Seventh Annual Fiber Arts & Jewelry Exhibit, showcasing local and regional fiber and jewelry artists and celebrating this underrepresented branch of the visual arts.

 

Art Center East invites you to enter your work in the Seventh Annual Fiber Arts & Jewelry Exhibit. 

 

Exhibit dates: February 3 - March 25, 2023

Exhibit Theme

The 2023 exhibit theme is "Living Rural: Poetry in Fiber”.  Artists are encouraged to relate their artwork submissions to a poem or poems — published or unpublished — of their choice.

 

Each artist may submit up to five (5) fiber or jewelry pieces that incorporate any poem(s) of their choosing. Each artwork submitted may relate to a separate poem or multiple submissions may relate to the same poem.

 

Need a starting point in finding some poetry? Visit Art Center East and browse through hand-selected poetry for inspiration! Nancy Knowles and Amelia Díaz Ettinger, facilitators of the ACE Writing Project and writers themselves, have gathered a well-rounded collection of rural poetry and poems specific to this exhibit.
