SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "50 Years of Fiber"
DESCRIPTION:The annual Fiber Artists of San Antonio 2022 Art Exhibition will be held November 6 through December 9\, at the Kelso Art Center\, University of Incarnate Word\, San Antonio\, TX. The theme of the exhibit\, “50 Years of Fiber Art\,” celebrates the organization’s half century history. The show presents fiber artists from across the U.S. considering each decade since the 1970s as inspiration for their fiber art work. \n*DEFINITION OF FIBER\, as extracted from Merriam-Webster Dictionary: 1. A thread or structure or object resembling a thread; 2. A slender and greatly elongated natural or synthetic filament) such as wool\, cotton\, gold\, asbestos\, glass or rayon) which typically can be spun into yarn; 3. Material made of fibers (includes paper)\, fabric\, plastic or metal fibers\, tapestry\, art cloth.\nThe exhibition is juried by Paula Owen.\nOwen\, president emerita of Southwest School of Art\, began her tenure in1996\, following 11 years as the Director of the Visual Arts Center in Richmond\, Virginia. Under her leadership the school’s size\, scope\, and reputation grew significantly\, and in 2014 a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program was added. In 2022 Southwest School of Art and University of Texas at San Antonio announced a merger to create a new and expanded school of art. \nOwen has served as curator of numerous exhibits and on national and regional boards and panels\, including the Pew Artist Fellowships\, the Bush Foundation Fellowships\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. She is a published arts writer and co-authored the book\, Objects and Meaning: New Perspec5ves on Art and Craft:\, published by Scarecrow Press. Most recently\, her essay “Fabrication and Encounter: When Content is a Verb\,” was published in Maria Elena Buzcek’s book\, Extra/Ordinary: Craft and Contemporary Art. \nOwen earned an MFA in painting and printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University and continues to show her work in group and solo shows throughout the nation. \n\nI am thrilled to be showing:\n“Rent Wound Tear\, Mend Heal Repair”\nThe first time this triptych will be shown outside of Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "Alternative Fiber"
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of alternative uses of fiber and textile material\, The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts  (LHUCA) is proud to present: \nAlternative Fiber: A National Juried Exhibition.\n \nIn recent years the use of fiber and textile has greatly expanded creating art that no longer easily fits into the category of craft.  New art has been constructed utilizing these materials in both sculptural\, two dimensional\, and even installation practice.  LHUCA’s exhibition will focus on these ideas as we aim to create a juried art show highlighting the many alternative ideas present in these mediums. \nI have two pieces in this exciting exhibition!\n“Hopes and Fears and…” which won HONORABLE MENTION!\nand\n“Torrent and Tangle: Keep Your House in Order\n\n\nJuror: Karena Bennett: Over the last two decades\, Karena has worked with a variety of arts organizations across the Northwest ranging from small galleries to higher education institutions including most recently the Confluence Project and Caldera Arts.
