History

The Fantastic Fibers show began in 1987 as a wearable art show but has evolved over the years to include a compelling mix of traditional and non-traditional works created from natural or synthetic fibers, and work that addresses the subject or medium of fiber. Paducah becomes a Mecca for quilters and quilt enthusiasts each April as more than 30,000 visitors from across the globe attend AQS QuiltWeek. Fantastic Fibers adds another special element to QuiltWeek by exploring the broader field of textiles.

Fantastic Fibers 2024 – Entry Fee

The fee is $40 whether you enter one or two artworks.

Each submission can include up to two different works, with one image for each. All entries must be submitted at the same time.
