Visions Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA) is proud to announce the opening of "Interpretations 2025," the museum’s 26th international juried exhibition. Exhibition jurors, Holly Brackmann, Luisa Gil Fandino, and Paula Kovarik examined over 400 submissions of innovative textile artworks that explore the form and technique of 2D artworks, 2D art quilts, and 3D pieces that highlight fiber. Many of the juried pieces explore themes of transformation - whether related to gender identity, cognitive shifts, family dynamics, environmental devastation, or community change. Using recycled materials, natural dyes, and inventive techniques, the artists interpret their lived experiences with originality and courage. This exhibit is presented alongside "Fiber Art Now's juried ARTwear" exhibit featuring art that was designed to be featured on the body, created and constructed with textile materials and techniques.
