Canadian Textile Collection
Cambridge Galleries - Design at Riverside, Cambridge
An annual showcase of select works from the extensive permanent collection of contemporary Canadian fibre art
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 for 23 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 and selected works are exhibited at Design At Riverside on an annual basis. In each subsequent year we build greater awareness of the collection and the artists whose work is represented. The 2011 exhibition includes several recent acquisitions. Opening Reception: Thursday March 17 at 6:30 pm.
