FREE Event, No Tickets needed

Be part of the bold launch of Textile Art Gallery NYC — a new artist-run space dedicated to placing textile-based art firmly within contemporary fine art. Surface Tension marks the gallery’s debut exhibition, featuring 25 powerful works by its founding artists. Opening a gallery in New York City isn’t the easy path — but this moment calls for conviction. This is fiber art without apology.

Surface Tension introduces the gallery’s vision through an installation that moves beyond technique and into dialogue. Rather than grouping works by material or method, the exhibition unfolds as a visual conversation across the space. Distinct artistic voices remain strong, while shared themes emerge through color, line, scale, and form.

These works uphold textile art as a critical visual language — one where ideas are built slowly, meaning is layered over time, and material becomes a way of thinking. Expect visual impact, thoughtful content, and moments of both delight and introspection.

Join us for the founding exhibition and experience the energy of a gallery built by artists, for artists — because this work deserves to be seen.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
