With great pleasure, we present the work of five talented American artists whose work will be on view in Lodz, Poland all summer at what is probably the most important international exhibit of large-scale fiber art --- the 10TH ANNUAL TRIENNIAL OF TAPESTRY. Two tapestry weavers, one quilter, one basket maker and one who made a dyed mixed-media work will be among more than 150 artists residing in 55 countries around the globe exhibiting in the Triennial.
The Triennial including works by this quintet of USA artists will be shown at the Central Museum of Textiles between May 28 and October 31 this year. The museum is a former textile mill in Lodz, Poland's second largest city. Throughout the summer, sidebar fiber art shows will be on view in the town. Visit the museum's website at: An illustrated bilingual (Polish and English) catalogue of all works invited to the Triennial will be available from Friends of Fiber Art International. Call or fax (708) 246-9466 for information on how you may obtain a copy. | ||||
