Exhibit Description

Beyond: Tapestry Expanded is a curated and juried exhibition that features work from artists exploring the expansive properties of tapestry. Using the definition of tapestry as a nonfunctional, handwoven pictorial structure, artists combine both hand and digital processes, using non-traditional materials, creating three-dimensional forms, or incorporating multi-media components, including sound and video. The exhibition is organized by the American Tapestry Alliance, curated by Erica Warren, art consultant, scholar, and former curator at the Art Institute of Chicago, and juried by Jade Yumang, Associate Professor of Fiber & Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Alexa Griffith Winton, art historian and curator at the Cooper Hewitt Museum. Tapestry Workshop: Saturday, September 28, 2024, 1 - 4pm EDT at the Peeler Art Center, Lobby
