Celebrating Fiber Art and Artists in the Zumbro River Valley –
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
In 2025, the Zumbro River Fiber Arts Guild will be celebrating 50 years of sharing the love for fiber, building skills to further our capacity for personal expression, and exploring creative ideas together.
Members of the guild have a long history of sharing their broad interests in fiber arts. The guild started with an interest in spinning and weaving. Over the years guild members have attended and conducted workshops ….Read More
Our guild had its beginnings fifty years ago meeting at the Rochester History Center. As a part of our anniversary celebration, we will return to these roots with exhibits and demonstrations from May – December 2025. Some of the many displays will include weaving, knitting, needlework, felting, spinning and so much more.
We are working with the Rochester Art Center to exhibit “The Art We Use.” This exhibit will feature individual members work on the walls of the entry way (May 2025-October 2025) and a large installation created by the guild in the atrium (May 2025-April 2026).
Within our guild is a color challenge that will be presented at our gala event in October of 2025. Our members are challenged to make some art, using the fiber art medium of their choice, that celebrates our love of fiber and of course, our anniversary. The colors to be used are blue, for the water in our name and golden yellow to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Afterwards, many of these pieces will be on display at the Minneapolis Textile Center.
