The Fibre Art Network: Resist
An Exhibition of Canadian Quilt and Fibre Art
The UNB Art Centre invites you to join us for Resist – a quilt exhibition by the Canadian textile co-operative, Fibre Art Network (FAN). Inaugurated in 1998, FAN has created 32 exhibitions, exhibited at 105 Canadian and 9 International venues. Each work presents resist techniques, including but not limited to: wax, crayons, inks, paints, pastel/oil sticks, tape, masks, and paper cutouts, while preserving the unique and individual style of each artist. Resist can also be seen as an artistic concept - positive or negative, frightening or enlightening, to stand firm against change or temptation.
The UNB Art Centre will showcase these personal interpretations of Resist in a variety of art-making methods, including quilting, needle painting, felting, rug hooking, hand printing, and hand dyeing, by some of the best nationally and internationally recognized contemporary fibre artists in Canada.
The opening for The Fibre Art Network: Resist will be on August 8, 5:00 p.m.- 7:00 p.m., and the exhibition will remain on view at the UNB Art Centre in the East and West Galleries from August 8 - October 10, 2025.
The UNB Art Centre is located at Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Drive, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The galleries are open 9 am - 4 pm on weekdays and during special events. Admission is free to members of the public and all are welcome.
