Upcoming Exhibitions & Events
Diversity in Basketry
October 2nd, 2025 — January 4th, 2026
The Bay Area Basket Makers Guild highlights a range of both traditional and contemporary basket-making techniques and materials. Members utilize natural fibers and reeds, along with synthetic materials such as rope and wire, employing methods like coiling and knotting. Contemporary baskets often emphasize conveying emotions and ideas over functionality, resembling sculptures instead. The exhibition "Diversity in Basketry" celebrates this vibrant art form.

The Woven Pixel
January 28th, 2026 — May 11th, 2026
This exhibition explores the rise of digital weaving which emerged in the early 2000s. It brings together a variety of work by artists and designers who experiment with digital looms and jacquard software. It pays tribute to two artists in particular, Bhakti Ziek and Alice Schlein, who wrote The Woven Pixel (2006), which quickly became something of a bible for weavers in art, design and industry—-and referenced still today. Because every intersection of warp and weft represents a pixel, weaving seamlessly merged with the earliest computer technologies. Today digital weavers are altering the landscape of contemporary art and design using algorithmic painterliness, expressive structures and flexible parametric forms. Curated by Sarah Mills.
