Welcome! Whether you use traditional media in traditional or contemporary ways, we hope that you will choose to join us in celebration of the traditional arts. The SLV Folk Arts and Fiber Exhibit will happen in the context of two separate festivals; it opens during the Monte Vista Street Fair and closes during the SLVFAFF. We will have a fibers retreat at the info center on the Friday night of the SLVFAFF and a closing reception the following Saturday night July 12, 2008. Hundreds of people will see this beautiful exhibit during the 4 week run. We hope you will be one of them!
The SLV Folk Arts and Fiber exhibit is open to all media, but will give preference to the folk, self-taught, traditional arts, fine crafts and fiber arts. The winners of the exhibit will have their works featured here (online) for 6-12 months, so Download the prospectus here.
