T3%+!le$ - The Language of Fiber

A Surface Design Association Juried Exhibition

May 30 to August 15, 2026


This exhibition, playfully titled T3%+!le$, explores language in all its expressive forms: written, spoken, and illustrative. SDA seeks artists whose work engages 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. Artists working in text- and sound-based works, alternative signs and symbols, and processes that document making, individual moments, or longer histories are encouraged to apply. Submissions should evoke responses, provoke thought, and foster connections between textiles and language.
