Fiber Art Now – VIVID FIBER

Fiber Art Now is a quarterly print publication with over 12,000 international subscribers, features curated fiber exhibitions with exhibitors from all over the world. Select artwork is eligible for onsite exhibitions with world-class partner venues. The Herrig Center will be displaying 29 of the original 40 pieces selected from the 500+ entries from the April 2026 print publication. The body of work represents 17 states, Northern Ireland, England and Poland. The artwork has been created from fiber and textiles that convey something that creates a strong response – a color, a memory, a sensation and includes both 2D and 3D work.

Summer Colors – An All Media Open Juried Show.

Vibrant fuchsias, sun-kissed yellows, aquamarine seas, and deep, dreamy purples—summer arrives like a painter’s boldest palette. Artists are asked what colors define this season for them? Is it the fiery coral of a sunset, the lush green of palm leaves, or the soft blush of blooming flowers at dusk? This all media show is a celebration of the colors that make this season come alive.

Visitors are encouraged to plan their visit and experience both the extraordinary artwork and the newly transformed Herrig Center for the ARTS.
