Four Exhibits that Show That Fiber Art Is More Than Thread and Yarn

Evans Gallery: FIBER 3D- Revolutions This celebrates the work of three extraordinary fiber artists: Brecia Kralovic-Logan (from Santa Barbara), Deborah Jarchow (from Simi Valley) and Gerri Johnson-McMillin (from Pt. Hueneme). These artists explore the three dimensional form using fiber techniques and materials in new innovative ways. This is a continuation of the 2008 exhibition at the Syd Entrels Gallery in Tampa Bay, FL.

O'Keefe Gallery: Focus on Fiber II - Fiber Open This is a national juried exhibition open to all fiber media, from traditional to contemporary to experimental in forms such as weaving, basketry, sculpture, felting, papermaking, beading, knitting and embroidery.

Gerd Koch Gallery: Houses for Nomads This is an exhibition of tapestries by Michael Rohde (from Westlake Village).
