Curators' Notes
Fiber Arts have long been woven into our history and culture as an integral part of daily life. From utilitarian pieces such as clothing and bedding to decorative arts, women in particular have expressed themselves through fiber. Today's contemporary fiber artists take time honored techniques and traditions and elevate and reshape them to create new forms that reflect our ever changing world.

BLM - The Board of Directors of the Bristol Art Museum mourn the senseless death of George Floyd and all the victims of racial injustice. The Board actively supports efforts to bridge racial disparities, to reject racism, and to work toward making Bristol a much more culturally rich and inclusive community through the arts. The Board believes art fosters learning, contemplation, and critical discourse; it recognizes positive change is achieved through active engagement with the town and residents. Change happens when communities work together to achieve common goals. Therefore, Bristol Art Museum is committed to developing exhibits and programs around equity, respect, and compassion. These are the organization's guiding principles and touchstones for moving forward.
