Excellence In Fibers XI examines the expansive field of contemporary fiber and textile practice through works that range from traditional techniques to complex expressive forms. The exhibition highlights artists who critically engage material, process, andtechnique, and challenge the conceptual and physical boundaries of fiber.
Organized by Fiber Art Now and juried by its creative team, this curation features forty finalists published in the Fiber Art Now Winter 2026 issue (Vol. 15). From this cohort, eleven works were selected by Contemporary Craft for presentation in the David Zeve Gallery for Regional Artists.
Excellence In Fibers XI is presented through a partnership between Fiber Art Now and Contemporary Craft.
