Regarding Philadelphia Fiber
An annual celebration of the rich tapestry of fiber arts, Fiber Philadelphia highlights the remarkable diversity, talent, and creativity found in the textile industry. Our festival, which is held in the historic city of Philadelphia, brings together creators, fans, and collectors to appreciate the beauty and adaptability of fiber art while forging relationships between different cultural perspectives and artistic mediums.
Our Purpose
Our goal at Fiber Philadelphia is to use the universal language of fiber arts to inspire, inform, and connect people. Fiber, in our opinion, serves as a potent vehicle for artistic expression, cultural preservation, and self-expression in addition to being a necessary component of daily life. We seek to spark a passion for the medium and assure its ongoing development by offering a forum for artists to showcase their work and for the general public to interact with fiber arts.
