Detail of "Good Night Molly Upton, you're a long way from home" by jo p. griffith

We are proud to announce that we will have two exhibits, “Boundless” and “Shaped by Fiber” on display at the Cerritos Library during the months of August and September, 2015.

Our new exhibit, “Boundless” features fiber art presented on a stretched canvas. Each artist was given an 18” x 36” stretched canvas to use as the base for their artwork.  Fiber art pieces were prepared for the canvas and stretched around it or adhered to it. The artwork in some instances extends beyond the boundary of the canvas. Come and experience this extraordinary fine art. 

by Linda Friedman

“Shaped by Fiber” is an impressive exhibit featuring fiber art that goes beyond two dimensional wall hangings. The works shown in this exhibit include three dimensional forms, vessels, mounted fiber art, and hanging pieces. This stunning exhibit shows numerous ways that fibers can be sculpted to create spectacular artworks.
