Wearable art that pushes boundaries. ✨

ARTwear is an exhibition of original, innovative artwork designed to be worn on the body. Each piece is created from fiber and textile materials and constructed using fiber and textile techniques, showcasing just how far this medium can go.
Featured in the Fall 2024 issue of Fiber Art Now, the print exhibition was juried by the Fiber Art Now creative team.

As Creative Director Lori Butanis shares:
“Each piece of art in this ARTwear exhibition captures an artist’s unique expression on the human form… We looked for materials and techniques we hadn’t seen before, taking us on a trip we haven’t yet been on and pushing boundaries we didn’t know were there.”

👉 Come be surprised, inspired, and sparked to create your own.
Proud moment for our museum! ✨

VMOTA’s partnership with Liberty School brings quilt-making and textile art into elementary classrooms—empowering students through creativity, self-expression, and hands-on learning.

From drawing and painting to sewing and design, students create meaningful textile self-portraits that are proudly displayed at the museum before going home with them forever. 💛
