Glen Arbor Arts Center holds Fiber Without Borders juried exhibition

From staff reports

Come celebrateFiber Without Borders, a juried exhibition of 2D- and 3D-work exploring fiber materials in fresh, original ways. A reception to launch the exhibition is Friday, Sept. 13, from 6-8 pm at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor. 

A revolution in the use of fiber materials—from wool, to paper, to plastic, to fruit skins—as the basis for art making began in the 1960s and has continued unabated to the present. Fiber Without Borders exhibits contemporary work that: acknowledges fiber’s functional roots and contexts, but does not stop there; examines contemporary social issues; finds innovative uses of fiber materials, and moves beyond the expected applications and/or re-examines the conventional ways in which we understand fiber to discover new contexts.

Fiber Without Borderscontinues through Nov. 7. For more information visit GlenArborArt.org.
