The three Common Thread shows are the flagship exhibitions of the World of Threads Festival. These juried exhibitions attracts diverse entries from across Canada and around the world. Displayed work includes both traditional technique-based fibre art and conceptual fiber art. Practitioners of fibre arts media and techniques are invited to submit their work.
Due to the number of quality submissions this year, a decision was made to extend the Common Thread exhibition from one venue to three!
Entries came in from 15 countries outside of Canada, namely: Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States of America.
Within Canada entries were received from: Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.
