See embroidery, tapestry, quilting, carpet design and more at a textile art exhibition with 61 artists and over a 100 artworks, including 10 site-specific installations.

Wildly varied artworks occupy four floors of a landmark 18th century warehouse (207 Front Street) previously used to store, among other period wares, bails of cotton and bolts of fabric arriving and departing New York’s South Street Seaport. Repurposed by the exhibition’s organizers, Karin Bravin and John Lee—longtime New York dealers and champions of textile art—the building’s 10,000 square feet feature a range of artworks – from foursquare pictures to three-dimensional artworks, from freestanding sculptures to editioned rugs, from hanging tapestries to immersive environments.

The historic building is not wheelchair or stroller accessible.
