Curator's Tour of Contemporary Hand Woven Tapestry Exhibit

"What's Going On?" is an exciting show of thirty-two contemporary hand woven tapestries responding to the issues of our times. Sponsored by Tapestry Weavers West, this juried exhibit showcases how artists have embraced a diverse array of materials and methods, fiber and fiber processes. Textiles’ strong materiality – texture, color, physicality – and their associative power – personal, cultural and political - make them a potent resource for tapestry artists. The show, located in the lobby of the Mills Building, 220 Montgomery St, San Francisco, will be on view weekdays until September 26, 2025.

Join us for a private tour on Saturday, September 6 when the Mills building is closed to the public. The tour is lead byjurors and exhibiting artists, Alex Friedman and Deborah Corsini. Both are long time tapestry weavers and both exhibit internationally. TAC is honored to have Alex on its advisoory board. Deborah is a former TAC board member.
