Fiber Iterations

August 3-28, 2026

Opening Reception August 6, 4-6 pm

Fiber Iterations is the Textile Art Gallery NYC’s new annual juried exhibition series, celebrating the breadth, creativity, and expressive possibilities of contemporary fiber art. Building on the gallery’s year-round commitment to presenting exceptional contemporary art in textile media, the exhibition brings together a compelling selection of artists and approaches from across the field.

Selected from nearly 300 submissions, the exhibition brings together the work of 53 artists. Juror Petra Fallaux described the submissions as “second to none,” recognizing the creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation represented throughout the exhibition.

The selected works range from sculptural and conceptual approaches to pieces rooted in traditional techniques and re-imagined through contemporary practice. Together, they push the boundaries of fiber art while engaging with materiality, sustainability, identity, and storytelling through textile forms. The result is an exhibition that demonstrates the remarkable breadth, innovation, and expressive possibilities of artists working in textile media.
