Meet the Fiber Artists at County Museum

Fiber artists from groups affiliated with the museum’s Western Textile Center Association will introduce visitors to the special exhibit, “Award-Winning Fiber Art,” at the San Bernardino County Museum on Saturday, July 17 between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. The event is free with museum admission. WTCA members will give demonstrations of different textile art forms, answer visitors’ questions, and serve as informal guides to the special exhibit.

“Award-Winning Fiber Art” features beading, embroidery, needle art, and weaving represented in works created by members of the Bedazzled Beaders Society, the Inland Empire Handweavers Guild, the Inland Empire Chapter of the Embroiderer’s Guild of America, and the San Bernardino Chapter, American Needlepoint Guild. Through their WTCA-affiliated groups, these artists support preservation, exhibition, publication, and education related to museum textile collections.
