GAC Sponsor Feature: Breakwater Books
“We are proud to support the Guilford Art Center and their mission to provide an inclusive community environment for arts education and appreciation in our town. We strongly believe in and support education in our community and the arts should never be left out. We especially love that GAC provides opportunities for life long learners as well as children and teens. We also love their annual Craft Expo on the town green! It always features an extraordinary selection of high quality artists and is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon downtown.”
– Rob & Dani Howard, Owners, Breakwater Books
New Gallery Show Opens July 1!
Prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about fiber art. Fiber Reimagined III, a striking new exhibition that showcases contemporary fiber art, opens July 1-27. It features sculptural forms and abstract wall pieces to inventive works crafted from repurposed and recycled materials.
Each piece on display challenges conventional notions of what fiber can be—transforming soft materials into powerful, provocative works of art.
Presented in collaboration with Fiber Art Now, a leading voice in the fiber art world, Fiber Reimagined III is the latest in a series of groundbreaking exhibitions brought to life both in print and in gallery spaces. This third installment continues to elevate fiber from traditional craft to bold, contemporary art form.
The show culminates with a closing reception on Sunday, July 27 from 2–4pm. This event is free and open to the public.
