About the Exhibitions and Audiences subgroup

The exhibitions and audiences sub-group of the Forum aims to develop opportunities for exhibiting textiles within the region and help to create new audiences for textiles. Through exhibitions and related activities the group aims to raise the profile of textile practitioners and promote the diversity of textile practice found in the southwest.

The group plan textile exhibitions in the region and look at the way textiles are presented, viewed and critically discussed. The group aims to exhibit the work of south west textile makers (within the region and beyond). The group also aims to explore and discuss the work of textile artists and practitioners from outside the region through exhibitions, visits and visual/written information.

All members of TFSW are welcome to join this group. If you would like further information on the group or want to find out about the next meeting or exhibition please contact Brenda Miller, exhibitions group convener at: contact@textileforumsouthwest.org
