OPENING Event – The 2023 Textile Palette Exhibition will open at 1.00pm on Saturday 1st April 2023. Celebrating the occasion, there will an offical opening and food and beverages will be served until 3.00pm

THEME – The theme for this year’s exhibition is Time for Stitch. After the past few years navigating the changes to our lifestyle and restrictions placed on us by the COVID pandemic, having endured long periods of isolation, separation, what is spoken of now, is how the quiet time for creativity helped many of us cope. Sitting and stitching, was a lifeline to maintaining a sense of ‘normality’, and keeping a focus and our creative motivation alive.  With this theme in mind, artists may choose to work on ideas connected to their experience during COVID restrictions or simply a project that highlights a love of all things connected to textiles and stitching.

Submissions considered for this year’s exhibition are varied and may include framed and unframed work/s, sculptural pieces, wall hangings, costumery, surface design. Artistic soft furnishings and unique upholstered furniture will be considered.
