Their article describes how Fiber Art Now thrives through artist participation—from features on emerging artists, mid-career makers, and students, to contributions from writers who are also artists themselves. We were glad to share how our programs like Excellence in Fibers, Fiber Reimagined, and our artist grant initiatives help us discover and support new voices in the fiber world. These programs, and our open calls for entry, ensure that every issue feels like a curated exhibit—diverse, dynamic, and deeply rooted in the community we serve.

One of the questions we were asked in the interview was how Fiber Art Now continues to grow and connect across borders, even during challenging times for print media. We spoke about the importance of strong visuals—how our imagery draws readers in and how the print edition invites them to slow down, sit with the art, and savor every page. Our digital presence plays a vital role in this as well. Through our Instagram weekend takeovers, active Facebook community, and ongoing blog series, we spotlight individual artists and highlight fiber communities around the globe. These features celebrate the groups, guilds, and gatherings that foster connection, share knowledge, and offer essential support to fiber artists, extending the conversation far beyond the printed page and strengthening the community that fuels everything we do.
