Lecture: Marci McDade, Editor of Fiberarts Magazine

Join Marci Rae McDade, editor of Fiberarts magazine, to learn about the humble beginnings of one of the world’s most influential textile arts publications. McDade will discuss the magazine’s guiding mission to promote exceptional recent works of art made with a wide range of fiber materials and techniques including basketry, conceptual craft, needle arts, quilting, soft sculpture, wearable art and much more. Highlights of important artists promoted in print over the last 35 years will inform the past, present and future editorial direction of Fiberarts. For artists in attendance, McDade will also provide tips to create attractive and engaging submission packets that can be used for print, gallery, and grant consideration. A question-and-answer period will conclude the talk.
