Jeremy Frey: Woven, a guided tour by Barbara Shapiro
About this Event
Saturday July 11, 2026 12:30-1:30
$30 members, $40 non members
Jeremy Frey:Woven traces the artist’s development from the early 2000s to the present day, demonstrating the extent to which he continues to expand the possibilities of this woven art form.
More than 30 baskets come together in a single gallery to showcase Frey’s vibrant color palette, distinctive patterns, and tremendous technical skill and ingenuity. Braiding natural growth cycles with his own ancestral history, Frey continues to add new letters to an ancient language, helping to ensure its future.
The Cantor is honored to be the final—and only west coast—venue for this acclaimed exhibition organized by the Portland Museum of Art in Maine. Seventh-generation basket weaver Jeremy Frey (b. 1978) often remarks that the exhibition was “thousands of years in the making.”
