Selections from the Fibre Art Collection

Cambridge Galleries Queen's Square, Cambridge

This annual exhibition includes selected works from the Cambridge Galleries' collection of contemporary Canadian Fibre Art. Unique in Canada, the collection features works that demonstrate the wide diversity and ingenuity of Canadian artists creating works of art that are textile based. The collection now numbers more than 150 pieces, acquired over the past 19 years. The collection represents an important link with the City of Cambridge's textile heritage.

Guest Artist Lecture: Dorothy Caldwell
Tuesday, January 29 at 7:00 pm
Canadian artist and educator Dorothy Caldwell's work is represented in the Cambridge Galleries' collection. Ms. Caldwell will discuss the beginnings of the Fibre Art field, what is happening today and how the medium is integrating with conventional contemporary art practice.

She has executed major architectural commissions and her work is represented in numerous international private and public collections. Dorothy represented Canada at Expo '90 in Osaka and was the 1990 recipient of the prestigious Saidye Bronfman Award for Excellent in the Crafts. She is a highly regarded curator and educator.
