CALL FOR ENTRY!

SAORI weavers who have an association with Loop of the Loom are encouraged to apply for this opportunity!

We would love to encourage you to submit your woven works for the 6th students' exhibition "Sensory Weaving" in September at our studio in Dumbo. 
This exhibition aims to celebrate our students' and SAORI weavers’ creativity and achievements. Moreover, we have revived the weaving community in New York, just like tying broken warps, reconnecting people again after changing our lifestyle or circumstances caused by COVID. You may have weaving pieces you have made before, during, and after the pandemic. These indicate your positive change and progression in your life.
From tapestries to clothing, created by young kids and adults, with or without disabilities, our borderless arts will be displayed in the studio and on social media throughout the month of New York Textile Month (NYTM). Showcase your weavings at this event!
