T3%+!le$ - The Language of Fiber

A Surface Design Association Juried Exhibition

May 30 to August 15, 2026

This Surface Design Association juried exhibition, playfully titled T3%+!le$, explores language in all its expressive forms: written, spoken, and illustrative. Artworks in the exhibit engage broadly with ideas of communication—from poetry and prose to computer code, indexing, and archiving—as it relates to the grammar of textiles and the vocabulary of fiber. The artworks evoke responses, provoke thought, and foster connections between textiles and language.
