Call for Artists! Interwoven: Connections in Fiber

Interwoven: Connections in Fiber explores the ways artists use fiber to create meaningful connections between materials, traditions, and personal experiences. Through mediums like weaving, stitching, quilting, embroidery, sculpture, and mixed-media approaches, this exhibition celebrates the artistry of fiber while highlighting the relationships between texture, pattern, memory, and storytelling. Each work invites viewers to discover the intricate connections—both visible and unseen—that bring fiber art to life.

Entry Deadline: September 21st at NOON

On View October 18 – November 15, 2026 | Saltbox Gallery

This exhibition is open to original fiber-based artwork created by artists working in traditional, contemporary, and experimental fiber practices. You do not need to be a member of West Hartford Art League to participate.

Opening Reception: Sunday, October 18, 2-4 pm
Awards announced: 3 pm at the Saltbox building
