Works by the Midwest Fiber Art Alliance

About the Exhibit

The Midwest Fiber Art Alliance is a group of passionate fiber artists who explore textile manipulation and the diversity of mixed media as an art form. Our mission is to encourage our membership as artists, as well as educate others about contemporary fiber arts through member exhibitions, techniques and inspiration sharing and demonstrations.

This exhibition is a combination of the 2020 theme “Lines/Fine Lines” which, like most other events of 2020 was postponed, with the addition of the theme “Lines and Angles”.

MFAA artists were asked to submit their interpretation of the theme “Lines/Fine Lines”. The interpretation could be literal or figurative, fantasy or reality. Artists were encouraged to think outside the box. Dimensional requirements are 40” wide by 40”-64” long.

An additional call was added for 2021.

Members were asked to create a second, complementary piece of art to expand this body of work. Beyond the title and size requirements there were no specific strictures. However, the creators should consider the cohesiveness of the entire exhibition as these new pieces will be displayed with the Lines/Fine Lines pieces. The dimensional requirement for this group is 22” X 22”.
