The range of techniques, ideas, and skills presented in Intertwined affirms that the fiber arts are thriving in the Southeast, a region that boasts a long-standing fiber arts tradition. New materials and new interpretations build on that historical foundation and are encouraged through the numerous guilds, workshops, schools, and art centers in the region, including the Southeast Fiber Arts Alliance (SEFAA). The Board of Directors organized Intertwined as a way of celebrating the fiber arts and marking SEFAA's 5th Anniversary. Our vision and intention is to mount this exhibition on a biennial basis, alternating with our highly successful biennial Spotlight on Student Fiber Trends. This initial endeavor was conceived in two parts; a regional juried competition and a very selective invitational. The competition, open to any artist working in any fiber-related form or process, brings attention to the best contemporary fiber work being produced in the Southeastern United States. The invitational segment honors artists instrumental in the establishment, development, and on-going growth of SEFAA.
