This exhibition will consist of works by the top people in all areas of textiles. The stated focus of this exhibition is a presentation of artists who have revolutionized the field of fibers and textiles, pushing it beyond "craft," and into the '"art consciousness," plus a representation of other or
younger artists (as selected by many of these much-lauded individuals) who are continuing to break down the boundaries between mediums.
