All art exists on some kind of a spectrum, but the widest range might be in the fiber arts. Everything from fashion design to craftmaking to conceptual art can exist under the umbrella of fiber art, and there are scores of extraordinary Nashville artists who work within the medium. The collaborative team at Coop has organized an exhibition of intergenerational artists called Threadbare that will celebrate a specific community of Nashville’s fiber artists. The crew is called Slostitch, and it began as an informal monthly gathering, but has evolved into something the artists have called a dynamic exchange of techniques, stories and inspirations. Artists Melissa Beall, Caitlin Blomstrom, Theresa Buffo, Dorothy Dark, Jessica Eichman, Cary Gibson, Anna Saterstrom and Natalie Thedford will be showing work that explores the question: How do fabrics and textiles define us? The exhibition, which will be on view through Dec. 2, coincides with the Makers Bazaar — a community event held this weekend for Small Business Saturday.
Through Dec. 2 at The Packing Plant
507 Hagan St.
