The Fiber Art Fever ! platform

The platform presents contemporary visual artists who use textile fiber, or its techniques, in a privileged way in their work, promotes their works and broadcasts their events.

Their practices are part of the various classical disciplines of art: sculpture known as soft sculpture, drawing known as thread drawing, painting known as needle painting, as well as photography, videos, performances or indoor and outdoor installations.

You will also find announcements of contemporary fiber art exhibitions (our members’ activities) and open call for competitions.

In a second phase (end of 2025), the Fiber Art Fever! platform will also present exhibition spaces focused on contemporary textiles: galleries, museums, festivals and biennials.

How does the platform work?

With cumulative indexes that facilitate the search for artists:

  • By name
  • By country
  • By disciplines and techniques
  • By type and themes
  • By materials

 

With news:

  • Grouped by country and by dates
  • Individual and collective exhibitions, all mediums or centered on thread
  • Events, residencies, workshops
  • International or national calls for applications

The associationFiber Art Fever!

Fiber Art Fever! promotes contemporary textile art and the use of the textile or other soft medium in contemporary art. The association organizes exhibitions and participates in national or international events.
Via social networks, Fiber Art Fever! helps with promotions of its artists' events and other exhibitions of contemporary textile art, as well as anything that may be of interest to artists who use textile fiber in contemporary art.


The Civil Association Fiber Art Fever! was created at the end of 2010 by Paty Vilo.
The visual artist set up a first association of visual artists in Mexico in 2003 and iniciated “Puertas Abiertas al Arte” a movement in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. It was during this annual festival that she discovered the use of textiles in contemporary art through the artwork of Monica Leyva, a Mexican visual artist. It was love at first sight! This new artistic opened up a whole new creative horizon for her, multiple and unlimited.
Back in France, the idea of ​​a collective for this art form, germinated in his mind for a few years. It was not until 2010 that she took the plunge and founded the civil association Fiber Art Fever! The latter evolves over time to become today a platform dedicated to this form of art.


With Fiber Art Fever! , Paty Vilo is also involved in social movements. Faced with the outbreak of violence in Mexico, she relayed in France the peaceful movement in favor of peace and justice in Mexico: "Broder pour la Paix", then in front of the attacks in France: "Broder pour Charly" in 2015 and faced up to the war in Ukraine: “One picture for Ukraine” in 2022.
