Exhibition: The Fabric of My Life

The Fabric of My Life features work from artists who are part of the Intertwine Arts programming - an inclusive community of fiber artists who have a neurological disability, physical disability, or chronic illness.

The artists were invited to explore self-expression through their fiber arts practice. These guiding questions shaped their response:

• How do you feel on the inside?

• What would a woven self-portrait look like for you?

• What color best represents you?

• If you could express one part of your mind, what would it be?

The exhibition is a celebration of the unique perspectives of the Intertwine Arts artists, and their creative power. Our artists illustrate a multitude of viewpoints that resonate with each other through shared experiences while also showing the differences that make each individual extraordinary.

Inspired by April’s Autism Awareness Month, this exhibition is in honor of our neurodivergent artists, their experience and their interpretation of the art-making process. Through The Fabric of My Life we invite you to experience their work and celebrate their voices. 

This exhibition is made possible with support from Mid Atlantic Arts’ Folk and Traditional Community Project Grants through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts.
