Entangled: Juried Fiber Art Exhibition

About the Open Call

_Entangled_ is the first ever exhibition of contemporary fiber arts to be held at East End Arts Council gallery in Riverhead, Long Island, with an open call to artists nationwide. Artists whose practice creatively engages traditional or unconventional approaches are encouraged to submit proposals for a juried selection.
