Artistic Endeavors

Applications open September 1, 2025 - October 1, 2025

    2025 Showcase Theme: Artistic Endeavors

    The pursuit of artistry through the medium of fiber is an ever-evolving journey. Each piece reflects not simply technique, but an emotional and creative investment in the process. 

    Magic can be found in the tactile engagement while weaving, knitting, crocheting, or stitching, inspiring a meditative energy, pulling the artist into a place of reflection, exploration, and expression.

    Artists are asked to lead the viewer through the artistic endeavor involved in their submitted pieces. 

    • What was your inspiration?

    • Why or how, do you think, did that inspiration evolve into an idea for a piece of fiber art?

    • At what point did you feel the piece was complete?  

    • Is the idea complete?

    Showcase Managers: Jane McAtee and Denise Perreault




    Applicants to the 2025 HGB Show & Sale Juried Showcase are asked to describe how your work relates to the theme "Artistic Endeavors".
