Prairie Interlace examines the explosion of innovative textile-based art on the Canadian Prairies during the second half of the twentieth century. Although largely overlooked in histories of prairie art and craft, this was a period of intense energy and creativity. The exhibition features 60 works by 48 artists including settlers, immigrants, and Indigenous artists as well as influential visitors. Working across the Prairies, they challenged traditional approaches to weaving and embraced new techniques, materials, forms, and scale.

Everyone welcome
