CURRENT ISSUE
Fall 2022
Our latest edition of Fiber Art Now is our biggest yet!
In this issue, you will see unique wearable art created by artists Patrick Kelly, Zena Holloway, and Francesca Vitali.
Plus, get a behind-the-scenes look at the Tight/Laced exhibit at the Muskegon Museum of Art in Muskegon, Michigan. In the issue, Art Martin, Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the museum takes us through the process of planning and staging this inspired exhibit as a companion to Dressing the Abbey, which features costumes from the TV series Downton Abbey.
And quilts! Juror Nancy Bavor had her work cut out for her when given the task of selecting the quilts for Excellence In Quilts. And her selections will not disappoint. The fall issue presents this amazing array of quilts that you won’t want to miss.

What's inside an issue
of Fiber Art Now?
Installations
Installations can fill an entire room, hanging from the ceiling or positioned on the floor. Our jurors select installations created with any fiber or textile technique.
Wearables
It isn’t only about clothing! Wearables are functional body adornments yet can also be viewed as sculpture. Think apparel, jewelry, and accessories such as hats, scarves, gloves, or shoes.
Vessels/Basketry
Viewing vessel and basketry forms have you wondering what they were designed to contain? An object, either purposeful or imagined might be hidden inside. A range of these forms are created with basketry techniques while others are constructed with various fibers.
Wall/Floor
Artwork that is mounted on the wall or laid on a floor could be a quilt, a weaving, a tapestry, or a rug. But when they are three-dimensional, they surprise you with their inventiveness.
Sculpture
Free-standing, hung from the ceiling, or displayed on a pedestal, these three-dimensional artworks enhance both interiors and public spaces.
