The Huntington Arts Council invites artists to participate in Uncommon Threads; an exhibition with a focus on Fiber Arts in all its forms. Entries should include either fiber-based materials OR unconventional materials used in typical fiber art technique (crochet, weaving, sewing, felting, embroidery, etc.) Items should be either modified or created from scratch.
About the Juror, Patty Eljaiek: As a mixed media artist Patty exhibits nationwide, in galleries from New York to California. Her work reflects her experience as a first generation American immigrant focusing on themes of belonging and identity. She continues to explore traditional fiber arts to create new and evolving work incorporating repurposed materials. Patty is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts with a BFA in Illustration.
