The Festival is one of the most vibrant fibre arts festivals in the world. We showcase contemporary fibre and textile art in all forms. The Festival launched in 1994, and added international artists in 2009. The festival is a not-for-profit organization with charitable status. Festival 2018 featured 303 artworks by 65 artists from 10 countries. During the run of the Festival attendance was recorded to be over 60,000 people.
Covid-19 Update
During the pandemic we have committed to staying open and being available to our community through social media and on-going communication with our followers in 90 countries. We’ll continue to bring you exciting and innovative fibre and textile art from around the world.
As of right now we do not have a date for the next festival. We look forward to the time when we can once again safely welcome artists and visitors from across the globe to an in-person festival. Take care and stay safe.
