The Windsor Art Center hosts Soulful Journeys, an exhibition featuring the work of the Connecticut Fiber Arts Collective (CtFAC), from March 12 through April 23, 2016. The collective is a diverse group of artists who share a common passion, creating art from fiber. Organized in 2011, the founding members of CtFAC sought an informal network of committed fiber artists to support and provide one another with inspiration and instruction. Their vision continues to focus on mutual goals of artistic growth and development, while sharing art with the public. The artistry of their work invites viewers to rethink the traditional concept of the quilt, expanding it from its original utilitarian origins and reimagining it as art. Original designs are created using a variety of techniques, including hand dyeing, felting, quilting, and appliqué, and then enhanced with embellishments such as beading, hand embroidery, and knitting. download: Fiber_Arts_Show.docx |
