Fiber art as a respected fine art form came into its own in the 1970s and 1980s. It was an exciting time to push the boundaries of textile techniques. In 1982, Hawaii Craftsmen invited local artists to explore the possibilities of fiber arts in the first Fiber Hawaii exhibit. The biennial Fiber Hawaii exhibit has continued to challenge artists of all media to create works “in, of, or about fiber” for the past 40 years.

Artists of any craft media are invited to consider making artwork with a “fiber sensibility.” Fiber and textile techniques may be thought of as an idea as well as a media. Past exhibits have included woven glass, clay, metal or wood, as well as works in more traditional fiber media, such as weaving, handmade paper, basketry, stitchery, quilts, batik, textile design, kapa, or mixed media. Wearable art and installation works are also eligible for entry. Works may be functional or non-functional.

A special 40th Anniversary Retrospective showcase will be featured as part of this year’s exhibit. The invitational curated retrospective will feature works from the late 1970s to early 1980s, created by artists who have participated in the Fiber Hawaii exhibits over the years.

More entry details are available in the prospectus at the Hawaii Craftsmen website: www.hawaiicraftsmen.org
