Since its inception in 1982, Fibreworks has celebrated the textile industry of the Grand River region through a biennial exhibition of fibre-based artworks. This influential exhibition has been pivotal in shaping Cambridge Art Galleries' permanent collection of contemporary Canadian fibre art, evolving from showcasing Ontario-based artists to embracing talents nationwide.
To mark the 20th Anniversary of Fibreworks, we are thrilled to present a fusion of our two biennial exhibitions, Fibreworks and SHOW (the Emerging Ontario-based Artist Showcase). Titled Next In Fibre: 20th Anniversary of Fibreworks, this exhibition at the Queen's Square Gallery, presents ten artists reinterpreting the role and significance of fibre art. Collectively, these works ask questions about who we are within the broader world and how we negotiate today’s social and political polarities. The artists engage with themes related to the body, identity, relationships, ancestry, and the self, offering thoughtful reflections on contemporary life.
Next In Fibre: 20th Anniversary of Fibreworks runs concurrently with Fibreworks 20th Anniversary Collection Show at our Preston gallery.
