The “SAA Squared” exhibition gives the viewer a compelling introduction to fiber arts.

“There is a current explosion in the use of fiber and textiles in the field of contemporary art.  Fine artists are moving into fiber art because they can do things that they can’t with other mediums, and art quilters have moved away from their traditional roots to approach their work with an arts perspective”.
