Join us at the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley from Friday, June 14 to Saturday, August 3, for the serene and captivating art exhibition “Quiet,” presented by the Textile Artists of Virginia (TAVA)! Don't miss the opportunity to experience the beauty of quilting fiber art and connect with some of the artists during our opening reception on Thursday, June 20, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Noise and business persistently surround us. Social media, family obligations, jobs, stress, appointments; all that and more keep us constantly on the move. Finding the stillness within, the quiet spot, feeling calm, tranquility of mind, and noiselessness often elude us. Discover what Textile Artists of Virginia (TAVA) members found when they focused on the quietness that is sometimes hidden in plain view.
TAVA supports and encourages each member as a fiber artist through sharing ideas and techniques, as well as exploring the boundaries of the medium with programs and hands-on activities. TAVA increases public awareness of fiber art through exhibits and public engagement.
TAVA meets monthly in Southwest Virginia to promote the creation of fiber art. Meetings are currently held both in-person and virtually. Regular hands-on activities let the members learn new techniques, challenges push each artist’s imagination and exhibitions educate the public about fiber art as a medium. Previous collections were exhibited at the Virginia Quilt Museum, Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival and the Taiwan International Quilt Exhibition.
