Exciting times are ahead for fiber artists and fiber art lovers. Innovations in Textiles 10 is happening this year after a four year interval with exhibits that will open in over 15 venues in the St. Louis region and Edwardsville and Alton, Illinois. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2011, I curated and participated in <i><a href="http://patvivod.blogspot.com/p/httpswww.html">Collaboration: Reaping and Sewing</a> </i>at the Jacoby Arts Center in Alton, Illinois. The show was part of Innovations 9. I invited five artists to join me in a collaboration, all of whom share a teacher / student / mentor relationship. It was a challenge that involved trading items from our own studios with each other and integrating those things into new work. The end result I think exceeded all of our expectations and proved to be a tremendous learning experience. At the closing of the show we all pledged to continue the collaboration. </div>

Fast forward to the present - lots has happened in the intervening years, one artist dropped out, but last fall I contacted the others to reorganize and invited a new artist. The collaboration will continue under the new title <b><i>Material Revival</i></b>. Erin Cork Woolfolk, Sarah Gillespie (new partner), Jo Stealey, Laura Strand, and Erin Vigneau Dimick will join me in creating a whole new body of work involving collaboration with materials from each others studios. Each of the artists has a tab at the top of the page where you can learn more about them. </div>
