Contemporary Perspectives in Fiber Arts

Cannon Art Gallery, Carlsbad

 

We visited the current exhibit at the city-owned Cannon Art Gallery yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Contemporary Perspective in Fiber Arts exhibit

 

The exhibit opened January 7, 2023 and runs through March 18. It’s well worth a visit.

 

“Contemporary Perspectives in Fiber Arts” features a number of artists and their works from California Fibers, an organization founded in 1970. According to their website, California Fibers “supports artistic growth and professional advancement for contemporary Southern California fiber artists.”

The creativity and craftsmanship in this exhibit was most impressive. Given that California Fibers artists have won awards and are represented in a number of museums and private collections made this exhibit particularly meaningful and fun to see.

Fiber artists work with a wide array of materials (natural and synthetic) in multiple ways – basketry, multi-media, sculpture, weaving, felting, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, quilting and more.

 

The Cannon Art Gallery is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon until 5:00 pm. Wednesday hours are noon to 7:00 pm. The gallery is closed on Sunday and Monday. 

 

Admission is free. Call (442) 339-2021 for more information or any questions.

Well said Michael Jacobs and I agree.

It was lots of fun to see - I know little about fiber art and it was far more than I expected.

It was a fun exhibit to attend Endre Barath, Jr. . Fiber Art was not something I was familiar with other than having heard the term.

Hi Jeff,

I am glad you had the opportunity to see this Fiber Arts exhibit.  I enjoy seeing artists who delve into non-traditional media.  The creativity is impressive.

It was lots of fun and quite impressive, Sheri Sperry - MCNE® It's an aspect of the art world I really don't know much about.

Jeff Dowler, CRS - Hmmm.... I can't say I ever saw an exhibit with fiber art. Isn't it interesting. Very creative too! When I hear the word fiber, I think of a plant or something you need in your body to promote good health. What a fascinating and unique art exhibit. I wouldn't mind seeing an exhibit like this.

Hi Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP 

It's certainly not just fiber we think of eating but a whole range of synthetic and natural items as I learned.

Jeff Dowler, CRS - thanks for the art and education! I learned something new. Knowing now that fiber art includes a wide range of other natural and synthetic materials makes it even more exciting to know that recycling pays off and can be worth money in an art gallery!

Jeff, had never heard of fiber arts, but a great concept, and think it would have been fun too.

Can't say I had heard of fiber art either before reading about this exhibit and attending, Joan Cox . I imagine that's true for plenty of people.
