Culture Lab LIC
Fiber of Being: TSGNY x Culture Lab LIC is a juried fiber art exhibition inviting artists to explore the enduring significance of fiber art in contemporary life. This exhibition delves into how textiles, with their rich histories of handcraft and cultural storytelling, remain profoundly relevant—bridging the physical and the virtual, the traditional and the contemporary. It asks how fiber art asserts material presence in an increasingly immaterial world, positioning fiber as a metaphor for the interconnected threads of existence, weaving together the past, present, and the future. The exhibition specifically seeks artworks that assert the importance of touch, material intelligence, and embodied "making" in an age of hyper-connectivity and digital abstraction. Collaboratively organized by Textile Study Group of New York (TSGNY) and Culture Lab LIC.
Culture Lab LIC does not take a commission on any art sold. As such, artists should price art to reflect no gallery commission.
Each applicant can submit up to three artworks, completed within the last 5 years. Selected artists will be responsible for delivering (hand deliver or via delivery service) artwork to/from the gallery, ready to be displayed. All fiber-based and fiber-inspired works are encouraged to apply. Submissions must be JPEG files only with a maximum file size of 1 MB per image.
