Art Center East’s ninth annual Fiber Arts & Jewelry Exhibit showcases the work of local and regional fiber and jewelry artists and celebrates these underrepresented branches of the visual arts. The 2025 exhibit theme is Folklore in Fiber: Myths, Mysteries, Fairytales, and Folk Traditions. The exhibit will be on display from February 7 - March 29, 2025, with a closing reception on Friday, March 28 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
Artists are to select any myth, mystery, fairytale, or folk tradition of their choosing as a springboard to create new jewelry or fiber artworks. Artists are invited to draw inspiration from a wide range of folklore, from widely-recognized legends to family tales passed down through generations.
Regular gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, noon-5 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Exhibits are also viewable online thanks to a partnership with High Country Realty Professionals in La Grande. All gallery visits, receptions, and events are free and open to the public.
