Reception

Opening Celebration: Soft/Cover

December 12, 2024
6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

A graphic title that reads "Soft Cover, Fabric as Garment as Architecture". The image also features a man mid-stride wearing black and white striped pants.
Soft/Cover, on view through August 17, 2025.

Soft/Cover surveys the many surprising ways artists have used fabric and screenprinting to create objects that relate to the body. Focusing on the relationship of textiles to fashion and architecture, the exhibition includes new and rarely-shown works from The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s collection—each created by Artists-in-Residence in collaboration with FWM’s Studio team.   

Join this opening event to celebrate the debut of newly commissioned works created by artists Julia Chiang, Brendan Fernandes, John Killacky, Aimee Koran, Mildred Beltré Martinez, Borna Sammak, Jenny Walton, and Armando Veve. 

Light refreshments will be served.
