Feminist Fiber Art is a traveling art exhibit: we organize exhibits and concerts, benefits for women's shelters and centers, host craft nights, and sell our work at art markets and on the internet. It is a DIY, multidisciplinary, intersectional, community art project focusing primarily on the versatile medium of fiber art. Feminist Fiber Art is an inclusive project, intended to empower minorities and encourage equality through the powerful avenue of creative collaboration. It opened in Boston in August, 2015 and will continue to travel around the world indefinitely


Fiber artists from all over the world are invited to submit. You do not need to identify as a woman and work does not need to explicitly have a feminist agenda. We will consider all fiber artwork submitted, regardless of content. 


You may submit up to five works of art for consideration. Each artwork must address the medium of fiber- however you choose to interpret that theme is up to you. 


In order to be considered you must complete the following three tasks. If you do not complete the following three tasks your submission will not be considered.
