World of Threads Festival 2007

Oakville’s Fifth Biennial Fibre Arts Festival, World of Threads 2007, will once again weave tapestry of visual delight thanks to a $5,100 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and a $3000 grant from the Community Foundation of Oakville.  The festival, in partnership with Sheridan Institute, the Oakville Museum and Oakville’s six fibre arts guilds, provides a forum that celebrates contemporary and traditional textile arts and artists, showcasing their work and offering educational opportunities for people in the community to experience age-old mediums.  The festival also features a national juried show, art exhibitions in locations across Oakville and lectures by well-known artists such as Jane Selbie and Peter Harris.  World of Threads 2007 runs from February 23^rd to March 4^th.  For more information, visit www.worldofthreads2007.cachelan,com.
