Call Out: International Textile Exhibition

​

The Art of Textiles

​

Attention all textile artists, designers, and creative individuals! Queen Street Gallery are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to participate in our second International Textile Exhibition following the success of our previous one in 2024.

​

We invite you to submit your textile artwork for this wonderful show. No need for new work, existing work can be submitted.

​

We were delighted to have had such a huge response to our global call for submissions in 2024, and we showcased the work of 71 artists representing twelve countries! 

 

This exhibition featured 89 pieces of work, exhibiting an incredible variety of contemporary textile art, in various mediums and techniques, all of which communicate to us the individual artist’s skill and ideas. 

 

Wales has a rich history of textile production, particularly in South-west Wales where there were 325 woollen mills by 1895. With its hilly terrain and plentiful river water, Wales witnessed unprecedented growth in the textile industry, utilizing local sheep wool to create exquisite textiles. Textile art today reflects on the past and envisions the future, becoming a complex examination of present-day life.

​

Whether you are an established artist or an emerging talent, we encourage you to participate in this international textile exhibition. Come and join us as we celebrate the legacy of textile production and the evolution of textile art in the present day.

​

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to showcase your talent and be a part of a truly remarkable textile exhibition. Let your imagination soar and bring your unique perspective on contemporary textile art inspired by the history of textile production in Wales. We eagerly await your submissions and look forward to witnessing the fusion of art, history, and creativity.
