Fibre arts, Quilts and Music Events

Fibrations was formed to promote the work of fibre artists and quilt makers, as well as young musicians, by organizing joint events featuring fibre arts and live music.

Fibrations undertakes integrated fibre art and music events on behalf of guilds, cooperatives, ad hoc groups of artists, as well as sponsor corporations. Events include quilt shows, exhibitions, fibre art sales and auctions, corporate and not-for-profit fundraising events and other projects.

We are a not-for-profit organization. If you wish to donate to a specific project, or to Fibrations program in general, please contact us.

If you wish to sponsor or underwrite a project and are seeking management and organization assistance, Fibrations will be happy to offer our services.

Fibras Musicales

In this first Fibrations project, fourteen fibre artists from across Ontario have created 18 fibre art pieces inspired by the music of Maurice Ravel, Manuel de Falla and Édouard Lalo. These works will be shown at concerts over the summer and bids accepted at concerts and online. Final bids will be made on August 11 at a concert of Spanish Music at Mohawk College in Hamilton.

The sale of the works supports the National Academy Orchestra and the Brott Music Festival 2011. To see the collection, learn about the artists, and place your online bids, go to Fibras Musicales Collection.

Fibras Musicales is a joint project with the Brott Summer Festival of Hamilton to promote fibre artists by showing their works at concerts of the National Academy Orchestra of Canada. This orchestra, assembled each summer by Maestro Brott, plays an extensive repertoire over 10 concerts. The orchestra is made up of young musicians and their mentors, and is meant to provide the musician with a summer of experience.
