The Textile Study Group of New York sponsors art exhibitions of works using fiber materials and fiber structures.


SQUARE, TSGNY's next exhibition, will be non-juried and format specific. It will showcase the fiberworks of TSGNY's Full, Donor, and Student members. Participating members must order wood panels custom-made to TSGNY's specifications for use as the base for their work. Although members could order as many panels as they wished, each participant is allowed to submit only one completed panel for display in the exhibition.

SQUARE will open Jan. 15, 2015, in the Narthex Gallery at St. Peter’s Church,
619 Lexington Ave. @ 54 St., NYC.
The exhibition will close Mar.19, 2015.
