A Stitch & Glitch in Time brings together thirteen Los Angeles-based artists who use textiles to explore technology, fashion, and collective histories. Los Angeles has a long history in textile production, both for industrial use and artistic expression.

The processes and materials utilized by these artists embody this long and complex history – highlighting how textiles can simultaneously be highly personal while revealing the larger economic and social circumstances they were created within.

Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-Taught Art in Chicago underscores the creative contributions of migrants and immigrants, broadening the scope to include artists deserving of greater attention, while posing questions about access to the art world and how art comes to be defined and valued.

Fiber Arts on 4th is thrilled to be part of Handwork 2026, a national initiative organized by Craft in America that celebrates the power of making and the communities built through craft.

In honor of this celebration, PBS released episodes of Craft in America to spotlight regional crafts across four regions (North, South, East and West). We will watch the episode spotlighting the West, which includes a feature on New Mexico’s very own Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA).
