Join us for a night of celebration! This year marks the 20th anniversary of Fibreworks, our biennial exhibition of fibre and textile-based works.

Come and experience the work of 10 emerging artists working with fibre as a contemporary medium and hear about Fibreworks legacy during our panel talk with special guests: former Cambridge Art Galleries’ Director and Fibreworks creator: Mary Misner; University of Waterloo Gallery Director/Curator and former Cambridge Art Galleries’ Curator: Ivan Jurakic; and textile artist and past Fibreworks participant: Amanda McCavour. Following the panel talk, Cambridge Art Galleries will announce the acquisition of an exhibited work.

Light snacks and refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend.

This event is offered in conjunction with Next in Fibre: 20th Anniversary of Fibreworks at Queen’s Square Gallery (August 24, 2024 – November 10, 2024) and Fibreworks 20th Anniversary Collection Show at Preston Gallery (September 7, 2024 – December 1, 2024).
