2nd Annual “Tribute to Fiber Art” Exhibit

BlackRock Center for the Arts
March 4 – April 9, 2009

Opening Reception
Saturday, March 7, 5:30 – 7:30PM

Maryland, D.C. and Virginia have some of the finest national and internationally known fiber artists in the country. BlackRock’s goal for this exhibit is not only to support local area fiber artists but to give East Coast collectors an exhibit of exceptional quality. Founder, Jodi Walsh, first started this exhibit at APEX Gallery on 7th Street in Washington DC. “Tribute to Fiber Art” was reviewed by the Washington Post and grew into an outstanding exhibit that was supported by the Smithsonian by giving annual tours to their collectors. Juror Trudy Van Dyke finds the strength of this completed show “is in its array of technique, media, palettes, subjects and finely crafted manipulation of fiber.
