Changing Threads Contemporary Textile Fibre Art Award

The exhibition is open and looking stunning. The quality and innovation of the work this year from practitioners throughout Aotearoa is at another level.  Lynn Taylor and Gillian Saunders our guest judges brought their wealth of experience in fibre and textile to to assist long time judge Ronnie Martin (Creative Director) in selecting some worthy award winners. It was a treat to host you both at Refinery ArtSpace and for you to share your perspective with us. Arts Council are very proud to have presented this award for the last 13 years.We were very fortunate to still have had an opening albeit a pared back preview for sponsors, artists and their families.  Come and support the exceptional mahi of this group of textile and fibre practitioners.
