Looking to submit your artwork for our latest CALL FOR ART?
Most of our exhibits are curated by a juror or team that will review the collection of artworks submitted in response to a “call for art”. If you would like to see our latest and upcoming calls for art please visit the Call for Art page here for more details and eligibility.
Looking to showcase your artwork in a group exhibit or curate an exhibit?
Our large, brick-walled main gallery easily accommodates 50-60 pieces for artists or artist groups. Receptions can be held for family, friends, and patrons in the main gallery during the exhibit. Please bear in mind that our exhibit schedule is planned nearly 12-18 months in advance.
The scope of textiles/fiber encompasses every aspect of our lives. The focus of this exhibit is to bring together the art and practice of creating fiber/textile objects and provide a vision of the future of textiles.
ABOUT THE JUROR: Gabriel Bielawski is a multidisciplinary artist from Rhode Island, now living in London, who employs new media practices in conjunction with Jewish mystical tradition in order to consider the ways that fictions autonomously enter into, perpetuate through, and reshape reality. He earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2017 and has since been selected for group exhibitions and residencies in New York and Vermont. Most recently, he was awarded a Fulbright grant in installation art which he completed in Poland over the course of 2022 and 2023. During this period, he was a guest lecturer at Jagiellonian University, produced the first solo exhibition of his work in Kraków, and designed a public monument that will soon be installed in his father’s family’s home town, Węgrów.
CURATOR BIO: Deborah Siravo is a Rhode Island based mixed media artist working with textiles and paper. Deborah earned a BA in Art History and MS in Textile Science from the University of Rhode Island. Deborah’s work reflects the subtle changes and tactile sensations of the natural world. Working in the abstract, she uses familiar shapes, colors, and forms to create a sense of place. Deborah is a resident instructor at WCFA and is really looking forward to working with Gabriel on this exhibit.
