Selections from the Permanent Collection
Cambridge Galleries - Design at Riverside, Cambridge
This annual exhibition provides an excellent overview of Cambridge Galleries' collecting activity over nearly 22 years, and demonstrates the diversity and ingenuity of Canadian artists creating textile based work. The collection was conceived in homage to the region's rich textile manufacturing history and as a means by which to encourage and support outstanding contemporary work in the discipline.
Cambridge Galleries Permanent Collection of contemporary Canadian Fibre Art is considered one of the best and most comprehensive in the country. The collection was conceived in homage to the region's rich textile manufacturing history and as a means by which to encourage and support outstanding contemporary work in the discipline.
This annual exhibition provides an excellent overview of Cambridge Galleries’ collecting activity over nearly 22 years, and demonstrates the diversity and ingenuity of Canadian artists creating textile based work. Works from the collection are frequently loaned to other art galleries across the country and beyond, however, only once at year at Design at Riverside, is there an opportunity to present larger groupings of related or thematic works here at home in Cambridge. In each subsequent year we build greater awareness of the collection and the artists whose work is represented.
