What is tapestry?

Tapestry artist Rebecca Mezoff  traveled halfway across the country to Indiana to see a major tapestry exhibit, only to discover that museum professionals there had little idea of what they were hanging on their walls. She was startled to learn that they were fuzzy about the state of tapestry art today and thus unable to properly display the show.

We who make art with fiber might be misunderstood, undervalued and marginalized, but it's shocking that curators themselves don't know much about us. Read Mezoff, a crusader with steel in her spine.
