Expressive Fibers Exhibit

an exhibit of fiber and fabric artwork

above: Ocean Essence by David Stearns

Artistree is holding our first-ever,
all-fiber-arts exhibit.

We encounter fibers and fabrics in their functional forms every day. The artwork in this exhibit will go "Beyond" function and will highlight the creative uses of fibers and fabrics.

Fiber artists working in VT and NH will exhibit work that, while based in traditional techniques and craftmanship, goes beyond the everyday to express their unique artistic visions.

The Expressive Fibers Exhibit runs from June 20 - July 19, 2025.

Opening reception on June 20th from
5:30 - 7:30pm!
Gallery hours:10:00am to 6:00pm
Tuesday to Saturday
