Golden Threads & Paper Creations
Explore the artistry of fiber and paper with Spectrum Art Gallery’s Golden Threads & Paper Creations, a show celebrating the beauty, versatility, and imaginative possibilities of these materials. Artists in the exhibition transform everyday fibers and paper into striking works of art, highlighting both traditional techniques and contemporary interpretations.
The exhibition features wall art, fiber sculptures, art book sculpture and installations created with materials such as textiles, natural fibers, and handmade papers. Visitors will also find finely crafted artisan pieces including basketry, leatherwork, and felted creations, alongside book art, quilled designs, and intricate paper-cut works. Together, the works reveal remarkable ways artists shape, layer, weave, and sculpt these materials into pieces that are both visually compelling and richly textured.
The show’s Opening Reception is Friday, March 27 from 6:30–8:30pm, and an Open House Weekend follows on Saturday, March 28 from 1–6pm and Sunday, March 29 from 1–5pm. Visitors are invited to meet participating artists, explore the exhibition, and enjoy wine and refreshments while experiencing the gallery’s newest collection of artwork and fine crafts.
Golden Threads & Creative Paper runs through May 9.
Spectrum Gallery also offers paintings, photography, and an Artisans Store filled with pottery, glass, home décor, children’s toys, jewelry, and other handcrafted accessories created by regional artists.
