Artist Opportunity Cozy Comforts – A Fiber Arts Exhibition

Cozy Comforts – A Fiber Arts Exhibition

We invite fiber artists, quilters, knitters, crocheters, and embroiderers to submit their work for Cozy Comforts, an exhibition celebrating the tactile warmth and creative expression of fiber arts.

Cozy Comforts explores the artistry, texture, and emotion woven into fabric and thread — from the intricate stitches of hand embroidery to the bold patterns of a quilt or the soft embrace of knitted and crocheted creations. This show honors the timeless craft traditions that bring warmth, color, and comfort into our lives while showcasing how contemporary artists continue to push the boundaries of textile art.

Whether your work tells a personal story, celebrates craft heritage, or simply wraps the viewer in a sense of home, we welcome your interpretation of Cozy Comforts.
