Join us for the opening reception of Small Expressions 2022 on Saturday, April 22 from 4pm-7pm.

Small Expressions is an annual juried exhibition showcasing contemporary, small-scale fiber work in a range of media. Featured work speaks to the intricacy of expression, intimacy of design, thoughtful communication and visual excitement through material exploration. This touring exhibition’s purpose is to increase awareness of contemporary fiber art and uplift its perceived value while providing opportunities for working artists.

This exhibition has toured throughout the Southeastern U.S., and will conclude its travels here in Los Angeles. Stay tuned for upcoming programming, including an opening reception and juror’s walkthrough + workshop.

JUROR’S STATEMENT 

“Small Expressions 2022 reflects the vibrant depth and breadth of contemporary textile art. The intimate scale of each work in the exhibit invites close and careful examination by the viewer, who will experience an artist’s intention through a variety of materials and techniques. Fiber is an expressive medium with a rich and complex history, and it is my hope that the pieces selected for this exhibit will inspire contemplation and thoughtful conversation. “
