Fiberart International

 Memorial Art Gallery

Rochester, New York

Fiberart International 2010

Through July 3, 2011 in the Grand Gallery

Magnificent Obsession by Emily Dvorin
Every three years, fiber artists from around the world submit their best recent work to Fiberart International, a juried exhibition organized by the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh. In 2011, MAG will be one of only three tour stops for the prestigious show, which brings together work rooted in ancient techniques and materials, non-traditional textiles made possible by technological advances, and art made from such unexpected materials as cable ties and X-ray film.

SAQA New York member  Lori Lupe Pelish has a wonderful four panel piece in this prestigious venue.

I viewed this show yesterday 5/1 and saw Lori's artwork.  It is EXTRAORDINARY!  I strongly urge anyone in the vicinity to attend this show!
