Open Call Fiber Art: Interwoven Narratives
Location: TAG The Art Gallery, 460C Harrison Ave, unit 2C, Boston at SOWA
Exhibition Dates: April 4 – 27
TAG is pleased to announce an open call for fiber artists to submit work for our upcoming exhibition, “Interwoven Narratives.” This exhibition will explore the profound ways in which fiber art weaves together personal, cultural, and historical stories, forming a tapestry of interconnected experiences.
This open call is part of the Gather Symposium, a city-wide event taking place in April across Greater Boston, bringing together artists, scholars, and the community to explore themes of connection, storytelling, and creative expression.
