‘Fantastic Fiber!’ opening coming to Bay School

Bay School Community Arts Center presents “Fantastic Fiber!,” through Feb. 24. Fantastic Fiber! explores the many ways artists incorporate fiber into their work as a means of expression. This exhibit showcases fiber art created by 17 Virginia artists in both 2D and 3D art, including collage, pottery, weavings, wearable art, jewelry and many other clever examples of fiber use in artwork. Each entry incorporates fiber in unique and creative ways.

This is one of the items in ‘Fantastic Fiber!’

An opening reception is set for 5-7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, in the Art Speaks Gallery. Enjoy drinks and finger foods, and meet the artists in the gallery.
