Fiber artists urged to apply for September exhibit

PORT ANGELES — Applications are now available for Bring Your Own Fiber Art: Port Angeles Fiber Art Exhibit to be held during the month of September in the Studio Bob gallery.

The non-juried exhibit, sponsored by Cabled Fiber & Yarn will be held Sept. 10 through Oct. 1 at Studio Bob at 118½ E Front Street in Port Angeles..

It is an extension of the North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival, held annually in Sequim beginning in October.

“We define Fiber Art very loosely,” said MarySue French, one of the organizers of the event. “In previous years we had a wide mix of artwork including spinning, felting, weaving, quilting, painted silk, knitting, crochet, costumes, fiber paintings, fiber sculptures, needle punched, braided and woven rugs, hats and even included driftwood art, and jewelry.”

Artists may submit up to four pieces for a $4-per-piece hanging fee or four pieces for $12.

The exhibit at Studio Bob’s gallery will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 10 and noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 11 when artists will be giving live demonstrations.

Application forms are available at Cabled Fiber & Yarn, 125 W. First St. and online at www.cabled fiber.com. Art pieces may be brought to Cabled Fiber from Aug. 31 to Sept. 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. or to Studio Bobs on Sept. 9 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
