Beyond: Tapestry Expanded

About the Exhibition

Beyond: Tapestry Expanded is an ATA-sponsored exhibition that explores the expansive properties of tapestry. Using the definition of tapestry as a nonfunctional, handwoven pictorial structure, artists included in the exhibition combined both hand and digital processes, using non-traditional materials, to create three-dimensional forms or multi-media components. 

Beyond: Tapestry Expanded will be exhibited at the Peeler Art Center at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN from August 26 through December 9th, 2024. Jurors for the exhibition are Jade Yumang, Associate Professor of Fiber & Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Alexa Griffith Winton, co-curator of the upcoming Dorothy Liebes exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt. Artists selected by the jurors will be exhibiting alongside a curated selection of artists by Erica Warren, a former curator with the Art Institute of Chicago. A curatorial talk will take place on Tuesday, September 10, at 4:30 pm and is open to the public. The exhibition is also accompanied by a comprehensive catalog that includes the work of all artists exhibiting in the exhibition. Catalogs can be purchased here.
